Cons:

Office 2019 is sold as a one-time purchase, which means you pay a single, up-front cost to get office apps for one pc. One-time purchases are available for both PCs and Macs. However, there aren’t any upgrade options which means if you plan to upgrade to the next major release, you’ll have to buy it at full price. Whereas, office 365 is available online as well as offline. All you need is to register for a Microsoft Account with a new or existing email address.

If you select to buy office 365, you should purchase the yearly subscription as you will be spending extra money paying the monthly fee.

Perhaps one of the most effective parts about getting a subscription plan is that you never have to worry about new versions. when you’re using office 365, you will always be running the foremost up-to-date version of the apps that Microsoft can offer.
