Another question is what is the difference between Office 365 and Office 2016? Microsoft Office 2007/2013/2016/2019 is a suite of Office applications that generally includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. Different versions of the suite include additional Office applications such as Outlook, Publisher, and Access. Microsoft offers a number of different Office 2016 editions, such as Home and Student, Home and Business, and Professional. The applications Microsoft includes in each edition of Office 2016 vary depending on the suite. Microsoft Office 2007/2013/2016/2019 Home and Student is designed for students and home use while Business and Professional is meant for corporate use in businesses and companies.
In contrast, Office 365 is a subscription based service with a variety of plans available. Some of these plans are essentially identical to the Office 2016 suites, but subscribers pay a monthly or an annual fee as opposed to purchasing the software license outright. Some Office 365 subscriptions are aimed at consumers or professionals and feature the Office applications, but others are intended for IT departments and feature server-side applications such as Microsoft Exchange or SharePoint Online.
