In order to avoid software piracy, most of the companies such as Microsoft, Adobe, Autodesk and others introduced the monthly/annual subscription of their programs. It’s a good move for them but for consumers like us, we are obliged to pay the monthly subscription aside from monthly bills for our utility bills at home.
In this article, we will discuss about Microsoft Office 365 subscription.
Microsoft Office 365 is a cloud-based subscription bringing all the best office apps such as Outlook, Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Publisher (PC Only) and Access (PC Only) and additional services included OneDrive and Skype.

It is recommended to subscribe to Office 365 Home if you are 6 persons in the family member and you can even share with your friends and colleagues. Price is varying according to your country of residence plus additional taxes being imposed by your authority. In the US, the price of Office 365 Personal is costing USD 69.99. But if you will subscribe to Office 365 Home costing USD 99.99, you can divide by 6 persons equals USD 16.665 then you will save approximately USD 53.325 per year. You can also use the license to multiple PCs/Macs, tablets, and phones, including Windows, iOS, and Android.
