The Fourth of July has passed but some deals are still lingering this weekend. If you're someone with a PC or Mac that ever needs Word, Excel or any of the other Microsoft apps, then nabbing a copy of Office is a must. You can go the Microsoft 365 subscription route if you want, but this deal on StackSocial is good value, knocking 89% off of a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2019, making it just $25, which is shockingly affordable.

There are two versions of Office on sale here. Mac users will get the Home and Business suite of apps, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams Classic and OneNote, while Windows users will get the Professional Plus version with additional apps like Publisher and Access. Just keep in mind that you won't get Microsoft Teams on the Windows version.

This isn't the latest version of Office, but compared with signing up for the Microsoft 365 subscription suite, which costs $7 a month or $70 a year for individuals, StackSocial's offer may be a better deal for those that just need the basics and not the very latest apps. There is a free Microsoft Office online alternative out there that you can use, but it lacks several features and can only be used in the browser. These days, Apple users can also score Outlook as a free Mac app. Even so, the additional productivity apps available may make this bundle a sound investment for most users.

Some important things to note: You'll get a one-time use code for a single computer, which means you won't be able to download these apps on multiple devices. That means that if you upgrade to a new computer or your current one dies, you likely won't be able to transfer the suite. These licenses also lack some of the added conveniences you'll get with a 365 subscription, including OneDrive cloud storage and cloud-based AI features, including Microsoft Copilot.

Now that you have some sweet new software, you might need a computer to go with it. Be sure to check out our updated list of the best Fourth of July laptop deals still available to make sure you don't overpay.
