![]() Although it doesn’t offer online versions or collaboration capabilities, it offers a free, full-featured Android version plus a free, impressively-full-featured iOS version in public beta test. For most ordinary office and personal work in a word-processor, spreadsheet, or presentations app, SoftMaker strikes a near-perfect balance. You can buy the SoftMaker Office suite as a one-time purchase or opt for a subscription-based model. ![]() Either option costs less than Microsoft’s alternatives. If you don’t want to pay anything, SoftMaker offers a less-capable, no-cost version called FreeOffice. I tested the standalone version called SoftMaker Office Professional 2021, which costs $99.95 (upgrades from older versions are $59.95). The slightly less powerful Standard version costs $79.95 (upgrades from older versions are $49.95). These prices are lower than Microsoft’s or Corel’s, but in the same ballpark. ![]() The subscription counterpart to SoftMaker’s Professional version is SoftMaker Office NX Universal ($49.90 per year) the Standard version's equivalent subscription tier is SoftMaker Office NX Home ($29.90 per year). Again, these rates are lower than what Microsoft charges for a 365 subscription. All these versions are licensed for five home computers or one corporate computer like Microsoft 365, Softmaker’s apps phone home on launch to check whether your license is valid. The mobile versions are free, and you can use them even if you don’t have a desktop version.Ĭompared to other suites that ship with components and add-ons that you may not need or want (I’m looking at you, LibreOffice), Softmaker Office is refreshingly straightforward. It consists only of the TextMaker 2021 word-processor, the PlanMaker 2021 spreadsheet app, and-you guessed it-Presentations 2021.
