I believe you also get some things with a subscription Microsoft 365 that you won't get when you purchase the desktop apps, such 1TB of storage in One Drive. Seems like you also get more functionality out of the apps on your phone as well. Of course, if this isn't important to you then it doesn't need to figure into your decision. Having all of my documents on my PC in One Drive and then being able to access them from my phone, has been a big help on multiple occasions.

When I consider the full price, at the end of the day, you will likely pay a similar price. If you can get a discount on the full version and guarantee that that will always be the case for future versions, then by all means, do that. For those on a very fixed income, the monthly cost provides the lowest up-front payment. So it's all about options.

In 10 years you spend $700, but buying the full version for $250 or so, you spend less money as the full version lasts for a few years.

You can compare plans at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/buy/compare-all-microsoft-365-products?tab=1&culture=en-us&country=US<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fmicrosoft-365%2Fbuy%2Fcompare-all-microsoft-365-products%3Ftab%3D1%26culture%3Den-us%26country%3DUS&data=05%7C01%7C%7C983499e38de24d49ed6108da771e9f59%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637953270656744748%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2Fy3Q3%2BvDshoNa%2FyesaVhahIdB6FNougRwLlGkw6wKNo%3D&reserved=0> Note that you can buy plans at a yearly discounted rate, or for some, it may be easier to swallow the monthly subscription price. The individual subscription for just one person and machine is $69/year or $6.99/month, and the premium for multiple machines is $99/year or $9.99/month. While you can find full versions of Office at a discounted rate, you will have to keep purchasing new versions or fall behind on updates, so I really don't recommend it.
