- StarOffice Software: This software is almost $200 cheaper and provides the user with the same features as Microsoft Office (Word processing, Spreadsheet, and Presentation software) Staroffice also includes a graphics program which is lacking in the Microsoft Office package.
- IBM Lotus Symphony: This package offers the same programs as Office but at a college student's favorite, 'free'. While some of the features are lacking (like an email client among others) the initial fact of price puts IBM's Lotus Symphony over the top. It's no wonder why it was awarded "office productivity software product of the year" for 2008.
- Corel WordPerfect Office X4: While this 'suite' software is competitive in providing virtually the same programs as Microsoft office, it lacks a competitive edge in price, as it sells for virtually the same. This software would be perfect for any user who is concerned with privacy as it has password protection in a variety of ways. Corel is also fairly compatible with Office while providing enhanced PDF capabilities.
- ZOHO Work. Online: Offers everything Microsoft does only for free. Not only does it provide the three main suite programs but also gives users online document management, online note taking, online planner, web conferencing, and much more.
- OpenOffice: OpenOffice provides five programs for free which include a word processor, spreadsheet application, presentation maker, drawing program, and database management. It is also available in many languages and is compatible with many platforms.
