Yeah, they discontinued the 3 license pack with Office 2010. With Office 2013, you only got 1 copy. They really wanted you on Office 365. And when you look at the cost of Office 365, you effectively get 5 copies of the Office Professional product that costs $399.99 standalone per copy, and you get 1TB of OneDrive space for each of the 5 users, so you get 5TB of OneDrive space essentially with your Office365 subscription. You get all of this for $99 a year.
If you don't need 5 copies, you can buy Office365 personal which is only $69 for a year and includes 1 copy of Office Pro and 1TB of OneDrive space. And with Office365, you will always stay current on the new versions of Office.
So many options, think my head is about to explode
plus I also have installed OpenOffice and FreeOffice, trying to figure out this whole big mess.
Then there's Libre Office. :)
If you can get along with one of the free versions of Office, and you don't need more, then stay with one of them.
However, if you want to compare, go to office.microsoft.com and get the free trial. I don't know how long it's for, but you should know within a short time if you want to pay for it. :)

Microsoft Home Use Program - Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. The software suite includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access and more!
Typically how long does it take to get there?
How long did it take Office 2013 to arrive there?
