In addition, there is no version of Visio for Mac OS X, so Mac users are locked out of the platform unless they’re working from the web. You either have to buy Office 2019, sign up for Microsoft’s Office 365 subscription service to use the product, or subscribe to a standalone Visio Online subscription.
