Office 365 consumer

The consumer version of Office 365 is generally referred to as Office 365 Home or Office 365 Personal. 

The Personal and Home versions contain the following:

  • Office Professional
  • Cloud benefits, such as OneDrive cloud storage
  • Apps for mobile devices
  • 60 minutes of Skype calling

It is evergreen, which means that you will always have access to the most up-to-date version of Office and OneDrive, as long as you keep paying for your subscription. The key differentiating factor between Home and Personal is that Personal gives you a single license for PC/Mac for $6.99 monthly and Home gives you six licenses for $9.99 monthly, at the time of publishing this book. The Home licenses can be used by one person or shared among six people.
