Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Open the emoji panel in a collaboration chat, switch to the custom emoji tab, and import a local image or GIF as a custom emoji message. | Teams lets users upload JPEG, PNG, or GIF files as custom emoji for an organization and use them in messages or reactions. | Google Chat lets organizations create and use custom emojis for work or school accounts. | Notion supports workspace custom emoji, but the feature is mainly used for page, database, and block icons instead of chat messages. | Adobe Express lets users add stickers to designs, which is closer to visual asset creation than chat emoji messaging. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry point is directly in the chat message box, so custom emoji can be added and used within the conversation flow. | Compared with WPS: Teams also supports reactions and organization-wide sharing, but setup can depend on organization controls. | Compared with WPS: Google Chat focuses more on organization-level custom emoji management and work or school accounts. | Compared with WPS: Notion custom emoji is better aligned with workspace icons and content blocks than live chat messaging. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express is better aligned with sticker design workflows than in-chat emoji sending. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS focuses on adding and sending custom emoji inside collaboration chats with a short entry path in the message box. Microsoft and Google provide stronger organization-level management context, while Notion and Adobe cover adjacent icon or sticker scenarios rather than direct chat emoji messaging.
