ContactOffice vs WPS Docs

ContactOffice brings email, calendars, contacts, document storage, and collaboration tools into an online workspace. Its messaging center can consolidate POP3, IMAP, Gmail, and Yahoo addresses, and supports POP3 or IMAP software access and SMTP relay. Calendar functions include shared agendas, meeting invitations, polls, reminders, and CalDAV synchronization. Contacts can hold photos, comments, and access maps, with CSV and vCard imports and CardDAV synchronization. The documents tool supports shared files, collaborative editing, PDF conversion, and WebDAV access. The service supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and web access, plus synchronization with iPhone, iPad, Android, and other Exchange-capable devices. Global synchronization is limited to paid subscriptions. The maker says data and backups are hosted in Europe, transfers use TLS/SSL, and two-factor authentication is available. The free plan includes 500 MB each for mailbox and documents, 200 address book entries, and no monthly SMS allowance. Paid plans begin at €5 a month, billed for six months.

WPS Docs combines document editing with file management and team collaboration. Multiple people can edit a file simultaneously, see changes in real time, and leave comments. Cloud files can be stored encrypted, with viewing or editing permissions set for collaborators. The product supports office files up to 1 GB, including Microsoft Office formats such as.docx,.xlsx, and.pptx. Online PDF tools include eye-protection and night modes, annotations, and signs. WPS Office is available on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and the web; a PDF browser extension is listed for reading, editing, filling, converting, and AI chatting with PDFs. WPS Standard is free and includes 1 GB of cloud space, limited template downloads, basic PDF features, 47 file formats, and 46 languages. WPS Pro+ costs $69.99 a year and includes 20 GB of cloud storage, AI features with daily usage limits, full PDF editing and conversion, and unlimited template downloads. WPS describes Docs as suited to small and medium-sized businesses collaborating and sharing work files.
