The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Coggle free plan limited to 3 private diagrams; upgrade required for more private diagrams; WPS Office the free tier is funded by advertising, and the adverts and upgrade prompts appear inside the editing window rather than on a website, so the cost of not paying is charged in interruptions while you work.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Coggle

  • Free plan limited to 3 private diagrams; upgrade required for more private diagrams
  • Organisation plan requires per-member billing with minimum 3-member commitment
  • Enterprise pricing requires email inquiry with no published rates

WPS Office

  • The free tier is funded by advertising, and the adverts and upgrade prompts appear inside the editing window rather than on a website, so the cost of not paying is charged in interruptions while you work.
  • Kingsoft is a Chinese company and cloud sync stores documents on its infrastructure by default, which is a procurement blocker for government, defence and many regulated buyers no matter how well the software performs.
  • Complex Microsoft files still drift, so heavily formatted documents with tracked changes, PowerPoint animations and workbooks using recent functions or VBA macros can open with differences that only become visible when the file goes back to a Microsoft user.
  • There is no tenant administration, so an organisation has no central console for licences, policy, retention or offboarding, and every installation has to be managed on the individual machine.
  • Cloud storage stops at 1 GB free and 20 GB per user when paid, so it works as sync for documents and stops being viable for anyone handling media, scans or large PDF archives.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Coggle: How much does Coggle cost?

Coggle offers a free plan forever for up to 3 private diagrams and unlimited public diagrams. Awesome plan costs $5/month for unlimited private diagrams. Organisation plan costs $8 per member per month with team administration features and SAML SSO.

Source
WPS Office: Will it open and save Microsoft Office files properly?

It reads and writes DOCX, XLSX and PPTX natively and ordinary documents round-trip cleanly. Files with macros, tracked changes or complex animation can differ, so check anything going back to a Microsoft user.

Coggle: Is there a free version of Coggle?

Yes, Coggle Free Forever is available at no cost and includes 3 private diagrams, unlimited public diagrams, real-time collaboration, and PDF/image export capabilities.

Source
WPS Office: Is the free version genuinely free?

Yes, and it is not time-limited. It shows adverts, caps cloud storage at 1 GB, and holds back PDF editing and conversion, text recognition and electronic signature for the paid plan.

Coggle: What does Coggle charge for enterprise plans?

Enterprise pricing is custom and requires contacting [email protected]. No published rates are available on the pricing page.

Source
WPS Office: Does it run on Linux?

Yes, with maintained desktop builds, which is unusual for a commercial office suite. The Linux version can trail Windows on newer features.

Coggle: Can multiple team members use one Coggle account?

All plans include real-time collaboration. The Organisation plan ($8/member/month) adds SAML SSO, separate workspaces, and consolidated billing for team administration.

Source
WPS Office: Is it suitable for a regulated organisation?

Usually not without a review. The vendor is Chinese, cloud sync is on by default, and there is no administrative or compliance tooling of the kind a regulated buyer will be asked to evidence.
