What Office costs for private users

For private users, the Office perpetual licence is usually the right choice: pay once, use it permanently. Our most affordable entry point is Office 2024 Standard – with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook. We deliberately do not carry the bare-bones Home edition that Microsoft offers without Outlook. That settles the Outlook question: with us, it is already included in the most affordable edition.

Verified pre-owned licences are well below the new price in the Microsoft Store. You will find the exact, up-to-date prices directly on the product page. As a guide: the Office perpetual licence is a one-time expense that, for private users, usually works out considerably cheaper over the years than an ongoing subscription.

Which edition is enough for private users

  • Office 2024 Standard. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook. Our most affordable perpetual licence and the right choice for most private households.
  • Office Home & Business 2024. Practically the same scope including Outlook – depending on the daily price, an alternative to Standard.
  • Office Professional Plus 2024. Additionally includes the Access database. Only worthwhile if you genuinely need Access.
  • Microsoft 365. The subscription is worthwhile above all if several people in the household use Office or if you continually want the latest features and cloud storage.
