However, the real benefit here is in the number of installations. It costs $119 per annum, which sounds a little high considering you can buy the Office 2013 suite for just $180 more. Rather than pay a one-off fee for your chosen bundle, Office 365 Home Premium is a subscription plan in essence, you're leasing the Office suite, not to mention a few other goodies, for a year. Office 365 Home Premium offers a very different alternative. These three options cater to the old school shoppers, who prefer to know they own something outright, rather than leasing it off the supplier. They're not your plain-Jane versions, though, as certain applications have more advanced business features.ĭespite the higher pricing, this is also limited to a single install. Once again, this pack only buys you a single install.įinally, we have the Office Professional 2013 suite, which goes for the princely sum of $599.Īll seven Office applications are included - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher and Access.
This is fantastic value, so hunt down that long lost cousin you haven't spoken to in a couple of years to get a copy of their student card. It includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, but sadly doesn't include the self-discipline most students need to study (instead of chugging yard glasses at the uni bar). Poor students living on two-minute noodles and the occasional can of dog food once again get a sweet deal, with the Office Home & Student 2013 suite selling for a meagre $169. Office 2013 Office & Home Business edition can be installed on a single PC. It doesn't include Publisher or Access, but it does include everything else, and most users won't notice the absence of the two geekier programs.
Instead, they'll probably give you a slight beating for buying the Office & Home Business edition bundle, which costs just $299.
If you want to buy multiple programs, fear not - your other half won't shoot you when they see you've blown $983 buying each piece of software separately.
