To talk users into preferring the subscription, the organization will make it a complex task to finding a link to the separate versions of Office setup on the official Microsoft page. As you visit your account via Office.com/setup, or go to the official website, you will find that the current subscription price for Office 2016 for Home & Student costs $149.99 whereas, under the new price sheet, customers will need to pay nearly $164.99 for a one-time purchase of Office 2019.
Users purchasing subscription from a third party service provider may get minor discount but will possibly charged the raised amount. The increase in the price of Microsoft's Office product has been made after years as the last raise was made in 2010.
