Thankfully, the Document Foundation will still offer a free version of LibreOffice for macOS through its own website. With the release of LibreOffice on the App Store, TDF will now attempt to draw a clear line between its consumer and business segments. So while LibreOffice was sold in the past, this new version on the Mac App Store will be TDF's first time putting it up for sale.

The firm charged $10 for the standard version of the app, but also offered technical support for three years. The previous version of the app that was supported by the aforementioned Collabora came at a cost. Educating enterprises about FOSS is not a trivial task and we have just started our journey in this direction.

The objective is to fulfill the needs of individual and enterprise users in a better way, although we know that the positive effects of the change will not be visible for some time. We are grateful to Collabora for having supported LibreOffice on Apple’s Mac App Stores for quite a long time.
