Office 365 vs. Office 2016: Which suite should you buy?

Which version of Microsoft Office is best for you? Here's how to tell.

Updated May 1, 2017: We refreshed this comparison to ensure you're still getting the current information needed to make an informed decision when it comes to an Office purchase.

Office 365 and Office 2016 share a lot of similarities, but deciding between the two involves a lot of factors.

Office 365 is a subscription-based service that currently uses Office 2016 apps, but when the next version of Office is released, users get that as part of their subscriptions.

Office 2016 is a buy-once app suite that brings you the Office 2016 apps as they are, without any updates to future generations of the software. If you want to upgrade to the latest version of Office without paying for a subscription, you have to pay full price for the new version — there's no discounted upgrade option.

Here we break down the major differences between the two products to help you decide which is better for personal and home use.
