Many Microsoft Apps for iPad are free to download. For iOS (not iPadOS), there is a single-install Microsoft Office App; this App is designed specifically for iPhone - and offers only a subset of functionality.

Most MS Productivity Apps for iPad (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint) offer limited functionality without an Office 365 Subscription - but only for devices with a screen size of 10.1” or less. Devices with larger screens only permit you to view (but not create or edit) an existing document. Full App functionality requires an active Office 365 Subscription.

Note also that Microsoft only support the current and immediately preceding version of iOS/iPadOS. As such, iOS/iPadOS 13 and 14 are supported and available for new download from the Apple App Store. Earlier App versions, supporting iOS12, are being (or have already been) withdrawn.
