A monitor displays Microsoft Office 2019 icons with a $30 price tag on a desk.

The article from Big News Network.com claims you might be "overpaying" for Microsoft 365 and promotes a "$30 version" of Microsoft Office. Here’s what it’s really about:
  • The $30 deal is for a Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 lifetime license for Windows, sold at a steep discount via StackSocial (reg. $229).
  • This is NOT a Microsoft 365 subscription, but a one-time purchase of the older Office 2019 version.
  • You still get core apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Access, and more—with no ongoing subscription fees.
  • You won’t get the latest Office 2021 or any new features/updates that come to Microsoft 365.
  • This deal is designed for those who want to avoid subscriptions and don’t need the very latest features or cloud collaboration tools.
Legitimacy Caution: These "lifetime license" deals on third-party platforms usually source volume or enterprise keys, which Microsoft could potentially deactivate if detected as non-standard consumer sales. Some users report them working long-term, others lose access after months or years.
Summary:
  • If you want to avoid Office subscription fees and don’t care about always having the latest version, this $30 deal could save money.
  • If you need reliability, support, and updates, a regular Microsoft 365 subscription is safer.
Always purchase software from reputable sources and be aware of the risks with steeply discounted licenses from unofficial sellers.
