It feels like everything these days comes with a subscription attached — music, movies, cloud storage, even the software you need to use to get work done. Microsoft’s own site doesn’t even sell its classic Office suite outright anymore; it’s all about Microsoft 365 now. Sure, the subscription gets you regular updates, but you’ll also be paying every month for as long as you want access. Luckily, there’s still a way to break free from that endless billing cycle. StackSocial is currently offering Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows for 81% off, which means you can grab it for just $40 as a one-time payment.

Pay Once, Access Forever
Normally this package costs $220, but with this deal, you’ll only pay once and get to use it forever. That includes full access to all the essentials — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Teams, Publisher, and Access — without any subscriptions or renewals. Mac users aren’t left out either. The same bundle is available for $60, which is still a massive 72% discount.
Once you buy, you’ll receive your software license key and download links right away, so you can install everything immediately. Each license is valid for one device, so if you want it on multiple computers, you’ll need to grab an extra license. Just make sure to redeem your key within seven days of purchase. After that, it’s yours for life (unredeemed licenses can be refunded within 30 days, but once it’s activated, it’s final).
Keep in mind this is Office 2021, not the newer Microsoft 365 version — but that’s actually a good thing for a lot of people. You’ll still get all the classic functionality of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, without the constant prompts, cloud integrations, or AI “assistants” cluttering things up. Let’s be real. These apps haven’t really changed much in years, and most people don’t need anything beyond what 2021 offers anyway.
The Windows version works with Windows 10 or newer, and the Mac edition supports the three most recent versions of macOS. It’s a great option if you just bought a new computer or are tired of paying monthly for software that you use the same way every day.
So if you want to ditch the subscription model and own your productivity tools outright, this is the move. Pay $40 once, download your apps, and enjoy full access to the Microsoft Office suite for good. Mac users can still score the same deal for $60, which is a huge step up from dropping $220. Sometimes, paying once really is the smarter move.
