Yes.
The cheaper options for only Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are:
- Office 2021 one-time purchase
- Includes the classic desktop apps.
- Office Home & Student 2021 includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for one PC or Mac.
- This is usually a better value than buying Word, Excel, and PowerPoint separately.
- Standalone apps
- Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can each be bought separately for Mac or PC.
- However, buying the bundle is often cheaper than buying each app one by one.
- Free web apps
- If desktop apps are not required, free web versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are available in a browser.
If only those three apps are needed and no subscription is wanted, Office Home & Student 2021 is the lower-cost desktop option. If occasional use is enough, the free web apps are the cheapest option.
