Question Is Office Professional Plus 2019 practically equivalent to Office 2019?

[brannsiu]

is "Office Professional Plus 2019"
the same as what we commonly understand as "Office 2019" ? Or if "Office Professional Plus 2019" a subset of "Office 2019" and probably missing something?

They are essentially the same, but Office Professional Plus 2019 also includes MS Access and Skype for business over Office 2019 Standard.

I found that there are cheap keys on ebay, as low as EUR 5,00. Do they provide me with key and let me download by myself on official Ms site?

They'll provide you with a key. As to it's legitimacy, I'll leave that for you to decide.

How much difference between Office 2016 and 2019?

and how much difference between one-time purchase and subscription (O365)?

Is it the major difference between O2019 and O365 is the cloud storage?

If I intend to use primarily with USB stick, is O2019 good enough?

I am a beginner.

MS Office version comparisons

Can't speak to the differences between Office 2016 and Office 2019. The last MS Office version I used outside an workspace setting was Office 2013.

There are a number of programs in Office365 that are not included with Office 2019 Home.

Not sure what you mean by "use primarily with USB stick". If you mean using the USB stick as opposed to OneDrive (cloud storage) and you don't need any of the other included applications, then yes. Office 2019 Home (one time purchase) is good enough (though I'd still recommend a free option like LibreOffice).
