Alternative2Office

Alternative2Office provides users with a suite of affordable office applications designed to serve as alternatives to Microsoft Office. The primary products include SoftMaker Office 2024, which encompasses three core applications:
- TextMaker for word processing,
- PlanMaker for spreadsheet creation,
- Presentations for creating slide shows. Each of these applications supports Microsoft Office file formats such as DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX, enabling users to transition easily without file conversion issues. Two versions of SoftMaker Office are available: Standard at $79.95 and Professional at $99.95. The Professional version includes enhanced features like e-book creation, advanced spell-checking, and Zotero integration for scientific documentation.

Additionally, FlexiPDF 2025 is offered as a robust PDF editing solution, available for volume licensing, which is particularly beneficial for organizations needing multiple licenses. This software allows for perpetual licensing, enabling non-commercial use on up to three computers within one household. For commercial use, the licensing operates per user, not per connection. Businesses with larger licensing needs (50 or more users) can request tailored quotes for additional savings. FlexiPDF also supports installation on Citrix or Terminal Services, although separate licenses are needed for each user.

Users can download a free trial of SoftMaker Office for Windows, Mac, and Linux. For those interested in PDF editing, FlexiPDF provides various capabilities including page manipulation, stamp addition, and document annotation, enhancing productivity across professional environments.
