's price for a single license of Office for Mac Home & Business was $176. Yet.Īs of late Sunday, for example, listed Office for Mac 2011 for as little as $116 in a one-license download format, and for an even-lower $109 in the three-license 'family pack' edition. Although Microsoft has boosted prices on its online store - as has Apple's e-store, which also sells the suite - other retailers have not joined them. Microsoft faced the same pricing dilemma with Office 2010 on Windows, and raised prices of Office 2013 licenses to make them less appetizing when compared to the Office 365 'rent-not-own' plan.īuyers can still find Office for Mac 2011 at the older, lower prices, however. If Microsoft had not raised the prices of Office for Mac and eliminated the multi-license offerings, number-crunching customers would have realized that the subscription plan was no bargain in many scenarios.īut the higher prices of the perpetual licenses - the traditional buy-once-use-forever form of Office for Mac - make Office 365 the better deal when deploying four or five of the allowed copies. Small Business Premium is set to debut Feb. To equip a three-person firm with Office using the subscription method will thus cost the business $450 per year. Office 365 Small Business Premium, which will run $150 per user per year, allows up to five installations of Office for Mac Home & Business and/or Office 2013 on devices owned by one employer.

Office 365 Home Premium, which costs $100 annually or $10 per month, provides a single household license that lets subscribers install Office for Mac Home & Business - the one that includes Outlook - on up to five Macs install Office 2013 on up to five Windows machines or install any combination of Office on five PCs and Macs.
