The short version

  • Each has a real cost: MeetGeek the free tier is capped at three hours of transcription a month and one month of audio retention, which is a demonstration rather than a working allowance, and the retention limit deletes evidence just as it becomes useful.; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: MeetGeek covers Automatic meeting join, WPS Office covers One application.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

MeetGeek

  • A sales team that needs every discovery call summarised into the CRM record automatically so a handover does not depend on whoever took notes.not WPS Office
  • An agency that must be able to show a client exactly what was agreed on a call six months ago, where transcript retention length is the deciding feature.not WPS Office
  • A recruitment team running many first-stage interviews who want structured summaries and highlight clips to share with a hiring manager instead of a full recording.not WPS Office
  • A distributed team where people miss calls across time zones and need a searchable record rather than a recording nobody watches.not WPS Office

WPS Office

  • A small business that edits and converts PDFs regularly and does not want an Acrobat subscription for each person.not MeetGeek
  • Students and home users who need Microsoft-compatible documents without a Microsoft 365 subscription.not MeetGeek
  • Older or low-specification Windows machines where the full Microsoft suite is slow to install and slow to run.not MeetGeek

Where each one falls short

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

MeetGeek

  • The free tier is capped at three hours of transcription a month and one month of audio retention, which is a demonstration rather than a working allowance, and the retention limit deletes evidence just as it becomes useful.
  • Pro is capped at 20 hours a month, so anyone in back-to-back meetings hits the ceiling in the first fortnight and is pushed to the Business tier regardless of team size.
  • A visible assistant joins the call, which changes how candidly people speak, and in jurisdictions with two-party consent rules it creates a legal obligation the buyer, not the vendor, has to manage.
  • Summaries are machine-generated and will misattribute statements in overlapping speech, so they should never be treated as an authoritative record of a contentious discussion.
  • It is a smaller company than the dominant players in this category, so the integration catalogue is narrower and there is less enterprise procurement, security review and audit history to lean on.

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

MeetGeek: How long are recordings kept?

It depends on the plan: 1 month of audio on free, 6 months on Pro, 12 months of video on Business, and custom on Enterprise. Transcripts last longer than media on every tier.

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.

MeetGeek: Is there a real free plan?

Yes, but only 3 hours of transcription a month with 1 month of audio retention, which is a trial in practice.

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.

MeetGeek: Which meeting platforms does it join?

Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, from a connected calendar.

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.

MeetGeek: Do participants know it is recording?

Yes, the assistant appears as a participant. Consent handling under local recording law remains the customer's responsibility.

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.

MeetGeek: What is the transcription cap on Pro?

20 hours per month. Unlimited transcription starts on the Business plan at 17 US dollars per user per month.
