is ms office free to use?

Hello shibaHG,

Thank you for reaching out! Microsoft Office has both free and paid versions, depending on how you plan to use it.

Free Options:

• You can use Microsoft 365 (Office) for the web, This gives you access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more with basic features. Visit here to Explore more.

• On Mobile Versions (Free for smaller devices), Microsoft Office apps are generally free to use with basic features.

• If you're a student or educator, your school may provide a free Microsoft 365 Education subscription.

Paid Options:

• The desktop versions of Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) require a Microsoft 365 subscription. This includes extra features, offline access, and premium tools.

You can find more details in this official article: Compare Microsoft 365 Plans.

note: There is also a one-time purchase option, Office 2021, but it doesn’t include future updates.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Best regards,
