![LibreOffice is Available for $8.99  on Mac App Store: Here's Why!](/data/attachment/album/202209/27/151502m1r51f6l52ynl51h.png)


LibreOffice 是一个自由、开源、跨平台的办公套件。


所以它一直是 [微软 Office 的最佳免费替代品](https://itsfoss.com/best-free-open-source-alternatives-microsoft-office/)。


如果事实的确如此, **我现在怎么会在这里讨论 LibreOffice 的购买呢？**


### 文档基金会计划向市场推出这个项目以筹集资金，


如今文档基金会正在努力改进营销策略，鼓励人们支持 LibreOffice 的发展。


当然，发布企业版是他们能做到的最好方式之一。


但是，能否通过提供相似的服务，把这种机会扩展到终端用户呢？


**最方便的办法** 是像 Mac 应用商店那样，通过专有渠道销售 LibreOffice。


最近，文档基金会 [宣布](https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2022/09/19/the-document-foundation-releases-libreoffice-on-apples-mac-app-store/) 在 Mac 应用商店销售 LibreOffice；他们是这么说的：



> 
> 跟以前的情况相比，文档基金会在 Mac 应用商店发布软件的举措是一次变革，这是一种新的市场策略：文档基金会专注于社区版的发布，而属于相关生态系统的公司专注于针对企业用户的、长期提供支持服务以及能够带来价值增值的版本。
> 
>

很多用户信赖并依靠的是自己平台的官方应用商店。因此，在他们的官方应用商店销售 LibreOffice 能起到方便用户的作用。你可以自动将 LibreOffice 更新为最新版本，而无需每次更新时下载相应的版本。

为了享受从 Mac 应用商店下载 LibreOffice 的便利，你需要一次性付费购买。


它在 Mac 应用商店的卖价是 **8.99 美元**。

> 你仍然可以在 [LibreOffice 网站](https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/) 上免费下载 Mac 版 LibreOffice。

#### Mac 应用商店不是已经可以下载了吗？


![mac app store collabora](/data/attachment/album/202209/27/151525oq3shsfhzd8cpfha.jpg)


嗯，是，也不是。


Collabora Office（基于 LibreOffice 的企业版）在 Mac 应用商店售价是 **8.99 美元**。


它基于 LibreOffice，并不完全是 LibreOffice 的社区版本。所以现在，文档基金会在 Mac 应用商店推出了社区版。


他们也在告示中提到：



> 
> “我们感谢 Collabora 公司长期以来在 Mac 应用商店对 LibreOffice 的支持”
> 
> 
> - Italo Vignoli，LibreOffice 市场营销团队
> 
> 
> 


（LCTT 校注：也就是说，文档基金会在 Mac 应用商店推出的 LibreOffice 是无商业支持的社区版，和具有商业支持的、基于企业版定制的 Collabora Office 的售价一样。因此，这种行为可看作是文档基金会的某种自愿募捐方式 —— 如果不愿意捐助，你可以继续下载免费版本。）


#### 这笔费用对 LibreOffice 有何帮助？


截至目前，LibreOffice 已成为一个大型开源项目。很多 Linux 发行版中默认自带 LibreOffice，这并不奇怪，一些教育机构也决定使用 LibreOffice，从而取代微软 Office。


当然，它可能在某种意义上并不完美。但是它正在不断取得进步，能满足用户关于文档、表格或演示文稿方面的基本功能。


所以，收取的费用将用于项目的支持工作，可以覆盖项目的维护成本和远期用于支付贡献者和文档基金会工作人员的相关费用。


### 微软应用商店也会推出 LibreOffice 吗？


![](/data/attachment/album/202209/27/151502mx1119t21w551t42.jpg)


微软应用商店现在并不直接提供 LibreOffice。


在微软应用商店，你可以以 14.99 美元的价格购买 Collabora Office。但是，文档基金会还没有发布官方的社区版。


还有 [Allo Office](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/allooffice/9MWJQ9TX63F9)，以前被称为 LibreOffice Vanilla。


也许在它登陆 Mac 应用商店之后，他们可能会把它引入微软商店。

LibreOffice is a free and open-source office suite available across multiple platforms.

So, it will always remain among the best free alternatives to Microsoft Office.

[6 Best Open Source Alternatives to Microsoft Office for LinuxLooking for Microsoft Office in Linux? Here are the best free and open source alternatives to Microsoft Office for Linux.](https://itsfoss.com/best-free-open-source-alternatives-microsoft-office/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)![](https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/best-open-source-alternatives-ms-office.jpg)

If that is the case, **why am I talking about purchasing LibreOffice here?**

## The Document Foundation Intends to Market the Project for Better Funding

The Document Foundation has been trying to improve the monetization and marketing strategies to encourage people to help support the development of LibreOffice.

Of course, the enterprise edition is one of the best ways they manage to do it.

But how can this opportunity be extended to its end users by providing similar perks?

**One of the easiest ways** is to make LibreOffice through proprietary sale channels like Mac App Store.

The Document Foundation recently [announced](https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2022/09/19/the-document-foundation-releases-libreoffice-on-apples-mac-app-store/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) making LibreOffice available on Mac App Store; here's what they mentioned:

TDF releasing on the Mac App Store is an evolution over the previous situation, which reflects the project’s new marketing strategy: The Document Foundation is focused on the release of the Community version, while ecosystem companies are focused on a value-added long-term supported versions targeted at enterprises.

Many users trust and rely on the official store of their platform. So, making LibreOffice available at the official software store gives users convenience. You can automatically update LibreOffice to its latest stable version without downloading it separately.

![libreoffice mac app store](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/libreoffice-mac-1.jpg)

To avail of the convenience of downloading LibreOffice from the Apple Mac Store, you need to purchase it for a one-time fee.

It is available for **$8.99 ** on macOS App Store.

[LibreOffice website](https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

### Wasn't it already available on Mac App Store?

![mac app store collabora](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/collabora-mac.webp)

Well, yes, and no.

Collabora Office (the enterprise version based on LibreOffice) is available on the Mac App Store for **$8.99**.

While it is based on LibreOffice, it is not precisely the LibreOffice community version. So, now, The Documentation Foundation has made the LibreOffice community version available on the Mac App Store.

In the announcement, they also mention:

“We are grateful to Collabora for having supported LibreOffice on Apple’s Mac App Stores for quite a long time”

- Italo Vignoli, LibreOffice Marketing

### How does this fee help LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is a massive open-source project as of now. It is not surprising why many Linux distributions include it by default, and several education institutes have decided to switch to it by ditching Microsoft Office.

Of course, it may not be perfect in every sense. But, it is making good progress and should fit the likes of many users who want essential features in a document, spreadsheet, or presentation program.

So, the fee will help support the project by covering the costs involved in maintaining it and further generating revenue to help contributors and people working with The Document Foundation.

## LibreOffice on Microsoft Store?

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2022/09/collabora-windows.jpg)

LibreOffice is not yet available directly on the Microsoft Store.

You can purchase the Collabora Office on the Microsoft Store for $14.99. But, The Document Foundation has yet to make an official community version available.

There is also [Allo Office](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/allooffice/9MWJQ9TX63F9?ref=news.itsfoss.com), previously known as LibreOffice Vanilla.

Maybe after making it available on the Mac App Store. They might bring it in for the Microsoft Store.
