The personal basic version previously was free to use; it now requires a subscription. A fully featured professional-grade version is also available for a subscription fee. WPS Office 2016 was released in 2016.[10] As of 2019, the Linux version is developed and supported by a volunteer community rather than Kingsoft itself.[11]
The product has had a long history of development in China under the name "WPS" and "WPS Office". For a time, Kingsoft branded the suite as "KSOffice" for the international market, but later returned to "WPS Office". Since the release of WPS Office 2005, the user interface is similar to that of Microsoft Office products, and it supports Microsoft document formats in addition to its own files.
