Always good to keep it current, never know when the opportunity to use it will present itself.

Just doing some really simple math on the cost savings of switching to the paid version of LibreOffice compared to Microsoft 365 Apps for Business (literally just the office suite).
$2,720 vs $15,840 annually.
Or simply put for just an office suite $13,120 a year in savings for an office of 160 people.
Mind blown.

No, we are using these solutions but I was simply curious what the savings is.

There is. Its the recommended solution for businesses, specifically to keep the development of LibreOffice going.
And my numbers are actually a bit off, it's ~$19/U/Y for anyone checking my math.
But since the software is FOSS, many organizations are likely using it without support, the LibreOffice team is really urging businesses to get a paid version though.

I mean, I totally get the idea of businesses ensuring funding for projects that they use.

this payment company has been trying to call me on my cell phone.
I just got an email telling me the ticket was closed because I wouldn't answer their calls.went through my call log - they have been calling me from 1+ (1) (800) xxx-xxxx
So I responded with " fix your outbound calling so I get notified and can actually answer the phone. My carrier must be automatically finding this as a spam call because of 1+ (1) (800) that you're calling from"

Percentage wise that appears to be huge. I'm not sure $13k is worth loss of a ton of features and productivity.

Well with the paid versions you get access to the developers to get features added, I know one such feature that isn't in LibreOffice Calc is Gant charts, but these are included in Excel. (there may even be a plugin for LBC).
Other than Gant charts I can't really think of any features that I'd miss. And even then I don't use Gant charts at all.
