The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Sejda free tier is restricted by page and hourly limits and limited file uploads; 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.

Sejda

  • Free tier is restricted by page and hourly limits and limited file uploads
  • OCR is capped at 100 pages even on paid plans
  • File uploads are capped at 500MB per file on paid plans
  • The 30 percent annual discount requires paying for a year upfront rather than monthly

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

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.

Sejda: Does Sejda offer volume discounts?

Yes, teams receive progressive discounts: 10% for 2-4 users, 20% for 5-24 users, 40% for 25-49 users, and 60% for 50+ users.

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.

Sejda: What are the limitations of Sejda's free plan?

The free plan includes page/hourly limits and restricted file uploads. Paid subscriptions unlock unlimited documents, no page or hourly limits, simultaneous multi-file processing, extended task duration up to 21 minutes, and large file uploads up to 500MB.

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.

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.
