FreeOffice – The Closest Free Alternative to Microsoft Office

FreeOffice 2018 is the latest version of free office software from SoftMaker. In fact, you wouldn’t be wrong if you called it the free version of SoftMaker Office 2021. However, we are still waiting for FreeOffice to get an official upgrade to 2021.

Unlike SoftMaker Office, though, it ships with only 3 apps, FreeOffice TextMaker, FreeOffice PlanMaker, and FreeOffice Presentations. No Extended Thunderbird or Basic Maker. That hasn’t prevented it from being able to use several CPU cores, rendering graphics faster than its predecessor, work with touch-screens and 4K (UHG) monitors, and be compatible with all modern Linux distros and Windows XP up to Windows 10.

Apps in FreeOffice 2018

FreeOffice features a word processor, spreadsheet application, and a presentation program that all produce documents fully compatible with their counterparts in Microsoft Office. Millions of people have reportedly claimed it to be the “best free alternative to Microsoft Office”, “One of the best free productivity suites around”, and the “best Microsoft Office alternative overall”.
