Office 2016 vs Microsoft 365 vs Office Online: what’s the difference?

We compare the many versions of Microsoft Office: perpetual, subscription-based and free

Microsoft provides users of its omnipresent Office software with a wide range of various packages to choose from, with several pricing structures and features. While this means that there’s a version of Office for nearly everyone, it can make working out which one you need something of a test.

We’ve taken a look at three different versions of Microsoft Office: Office 2016, Microsoft 365 and Office Online. The latter provides free, cut-down, browser-based versions of the popular Office apps. It’s Microsoft’s answer to Google Docs, and also allows Microsoft 365 subscribers to easily collaborate with users who don’t have a subscription of their own.
