I am looking for an affordable alternative to Microsoft Office that is for on-premises use. Any suggestions on options?
The solution would be installed on a PC (not a cloud-based option) and preferably have a coinciding mobile app.
Thanks!
Joe

You can try LibreOffice
LibreOffice (or OpenOffice) is a good alternative to Word and Excel, with some limitations. You'll have to stay with the older file formats (.doc and .xls) though you can read the newer formats. Macro compatibility is variable.
Are word processing and spreadsheet documents all you need to deal with?

There is LibreOffice http://www.libreoffice.org/ and OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/ . But I don't see how a desktop office suite could have a mobile app that works since the office programs require a keyboard for typing. There is also Corel WordPerfect http://www.wordperfect.com/en/all-products/?hptrack=mmwp&_ga=1.255730824.1682139549.1472575572 which does have a mobile viewer.
The best suite to do what you want is Microsoft Office with the Office App.
By subscription (under 6 users) or by Volume License, it is reasonably economical and very full featured.
Microsoft Outlook is the most popular mail app by a reasonable margin in North America.
