The 5 applications in Office 2021 Standard
Office 2021 Standard includes the 5 essential Microsoft Office applications with a perpetual licence — one-time payment, no subscription, no expiry date:
| Application | What it does |
|---|---|
| Word | Create and edit documents, reports, letters, CVs and professional templates with advanced formatting, styles and collaboration tools |
| Excel | Spreadsheets with formulas, pivot tables, charts, data analysis tools, XLOOKUP, dynamic arrays and Power Query for handling large datasets |
| PowerPoint | Design professional presentations with animations, transitions, slide recording and modern templates |
| Outlook | Professional email client with calendar, contacts and task management. Supports multiple email accounts (Outlook.com, Gmail, IMAP, Exchange) |
| OneNote | Digital notebook for organising notes, clipping web content, drawing and sharing notebooks across devices |
Office 2021 Standard is ideal if: You use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook for your daily work and do not need Access (databases) or Publisher (desktop publishing). You get all the essential applications at the best possible price.
Standard vs. Professional Plus: which do you need?
Office 2021 is available in two editions. The difference is 2 additional applications included in Professional Plus:
| Application | Standard | Professional Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Word | YES | YES |
| Excel | YES | YES |
| PowerPoint | YES | YES |
| Outlook | YES | YES |
| OneNote | YES | YES |
| Access (database) | NO | YES |
| Publisher (desktop publishing) | NO | YES |
| Number of applications | 5 apps | 7 apps |
| Price | More affordable | Higher price |
Need Access or Publisher? If you work with databases (inventory, CRM, data management) or need to create brochures, catalogues and business cards, choose Office 2021 Professional Plus. If you only use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, Standard gives you the same at the best price.
Office 2021 Standard vs. Office 2024 Standard: which version to choose?
Office 2021 and Office 2024 are both perpetual licences (one-time payment, no subscription). The applications and core features are identical. Office 2024 adds minor interface improvements, but for the vast majority of users the difference in daily use is negligible:
| Feature | Office 2021 Standard | Office 2024 Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook | YES | YES |
| OneNote | YES | YES |
| XLOOKUP, dynamic arrays in Excel | YES | YES |
| Licence type | Perpetual (one-time payment) | Perpetual (one-time payment) |
| Microsoft support | Security updates until October 2026 | Security updates until October 2029 |
| Interface | Modern ribbon (2021 design) | Updated ribbon (2024 design, minor refinements) |
| Price | More affordable | Higher price |
In short: Office 2021 Standard offers the same 5 essential applications at a lower price. If you want the longest possible support window (until 2029), choose Office 2024. If you want the best value for money for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, Office 2021 Standard is the best choice.
Office 2021 Standard vs. Microsoft 365: perpetual licence vs. subscription
This is the most important comparison. Office 2021 Standard and Microsoft 365 include the same core applications, but the payment model is completely different:
| Aspect | Office 2021 Standard | Microsoft 365 Personal |
|---|---|---|
| Payment model | One-time payment, yours for ever | $69.99 USD/year (or $6.99 USD/month) |
| 3-year cost | What you pay today (and nothing more) | ~$210 USD |
| 5-year cost | What you pay today (and nothing more) | ~$350 USD |
| Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook | YES | YES |
| Automatic updates | Security updates only | Security + feature updates |
| Cloud storage | Not included (use OneDrive free 5 GB) | 1 TB OneDrive included |
| If you stop paying | You keep Office for ever | You lose access to Office apps |
The bottom line: If you do not need 1 TB of OneDrive or the very latest feature updates, Office 2021 Standard with a one-time payment is significantly cheaper over time. Microsoft 365 charges $69.99 USD per year, every year. After just 3 years you will have spent over $210 USD — and you still would not own anything.
