Introduction
In 2026, more and more mid-large enterprises in Zhejiang are choosing their office suite. WPS 365 vs Microsoft 365 — which one? This article uses a decision checklist to help you think it through.
1. Licensing model
WPS 365 uses annual per-seat subscription (¥399 – ¥599 / seat / year; reference price, the final quotation prevails). Microsoft 365 uses per-user / per-month subscription (M365 E3 ≈ ¥80–100 / user / month).
- Company-wide use: WPS 365 Business ≈ ¥399 / seat / year (reference price) — easier to control total cost when collaboration needs centre on documents and spreadsheets
- Collaboration-heavy (Teams, SharePoint): M365 E3 / E5 is still the default
2. Collaboration
WPS 365 Collaboration Space is positioned against OneDrive + SharePoint; M365 Teams is more mature for IM, remote meetings, and enterprise telephony. If your business relies heavily on Teams for cross-region collaboration, M365 is required.
3. Chinese-language UX
WPS 365 leads in Chinese UI, AI Assistant, and Chinese OCR; M365 has excellent Chinese experience but some AI features have limited access within China.
4. China-stack trend
Central SOEs, listed companies, and government procurement are increasingly inclined toward domestic stacks. WPS 365 has passed MLPS Level 3, Chinese National Cryptography, and Xinchuang compatibility.
Conclusion
Budget-sensitive + high Chinese-UX requirements → WPS 365 Business. Heavy Teams usage + overseas business → M365 E3. Central SOE / high-compliance → WPS 365 Enterprise + Xinchuang. Hongguan is an authorized agent for both brands and can give neutral advice.
