For a limited time, you can grab a pair of pricey Microsoft productivity apps for a very low price. Microsoft Project Professional 2021 and Microsoft Visio Professional 2021 are on sale for only $20 each at StackSocial through July 5. The retail prices for both of these apps are eye-popping in comparison. Project Professional is listed for $1,130 on the Microsoft Store, and the standard edition is $680. Visio’s standard version costs $310, while the Professional is listed for $580.
You’re obviously getting huge discounts on both of these apps, but whether or not they will prove useful to you really depends on the type of work you’re doing. As far as Microsoft software goes, Visio and Project can be considered “niche.” You can find cheap or even free alternatives to both of these apps, but if you really enjoy the Microsoft productivity suite, these deals could be right up your alley.
Microsoft Visio is a brainstorming and diagramming software used to create charts, graphs, and other data visualizations like architectural layouts. It comes with dozens of templates for flowcharts, org charts, floor plans, and more, and it can import data from other Microsoft programs like Excel, Exchange, and Entra ID to automatically create charts and diagrams.
Microsoft Project is a project management app similar to tools like Asana or Trello. It includes pre-built sample projects, tools for visualizing schedule timelines, and even a built-in timesheet submission form, among many other features.
