OnlyOffice - Microsoft Office - Microsoft 365: Which One Should You Choose?

All of our PCs come with a complete office suite so you can start working right away. Microsoft Office is still available as an option for those who prefer it.

Which plan should I choose?

I just want to write documents, create spreadsheets, and open my Office files

Start with ONLYOFFICE. It’s already installed on your computer, costs nothing, and works great for everyday office tasks.

I work with complex Word or Excel files

Microsoft Office is the best choice when you want to use the original Microsoft applications or when your documents use advanced features, certain macros, or complex page layouts.

I want Microsoft Office but don’t want a subscription

Microsoft Office 2024 is the best solution: you pay for the license once and use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on your PC.

I want Office on multiple devices and cloud storage

In that case, Microsoft 365 is a better fit, thanks to OneDrive, cross-device use, and regularly updated Microsoft applications.

Good to know: ONLYOFFICE offers excellent compatibility with common Microsoft office formats. However, differences may arise with certain particularly complex documents, especially those using macros, advanced functions, specific fonts, or sophisticated page layouts.

Still not sure?

No problem: ONLYOFFICE is already included and installed on your PC. So you can get started with this solution for free and choose Microsoft Office only if you really need it.
