Microsoft raises prices for office 2019 home & business and professional
Table of contents:
Microsoft released its local Office 2019 suite for Windows and Mac in September. But instead of highlighting the main innovations included in a perpetual license for the new Office, the company stressed that it was inferior to Office 365 ProPlus, which in its opinion is "the most productive and secure" with the "lowest total cost of ownership for deployment and management."
Microsoft raises Office 2019 prices to benefit Office 365 subscription
Microsoft said Office 2019 was for customers who in 2018 "are not ready for the cloud . " The software contained only a subset of the features available in the subscription alternative.
Obviously, Microsoft hasn't removed the perpetual license for Office, but its updated new Office 2019 price list for home and small business users offers a good indication of what they want customers to buy.
The cost of Office 2019 Home & Student remains the same as the Office 2016 price of $ 149.99. The license is restricted for home use and cannot be used for commercial purposes.
However, Office 2019 Home & Business now costs $ 249.99, 9% more than the $ 229 Microsoft requested for Office 2016 Home and Business.
Office 2019 Professional now costs $ 439.99, 10% more than the 399 that Office 2016 Professional cost. Both can be used in commercial contexts.
The steady and gradual increase in prices, combined with more feature updates for Office 365, should have the effect of making Office 365 subscription more attractive, especially for Microsoft business customers.
At the end of the day, Microsoft is interested in Office customers paying monthly to use its office tools, rather than paying the license once.
