Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Spreadsheet on iOS, you can select data and insert a chart directly, then adjust chart type, color, and row or column direction. | Microsoft Word lets users insert charts and adjust chart elements, styles, and filters, with guidance centered on chart objects inside documents. | Google Sheets lets users create and edit charts, change chart type and data range, and customize gridlines, titles, and legends. | Notion provides chart views for databases with bar, line, donut, and number charts, plus axis, grouping, and style settings. | Adobe Acrobat Sign provides report charts for agreement, workflow, and transaction analysis, focusing on reporting rather than spreadsheet chart insertion. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps chart insertion and editing inside the mobile spreadsheet workflow, which is practical for quick data visualization on iPhone or iPad. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on inserting charts in Word and often works with Excel-linked data, with less emphasis on mobile spreadsheet charting. | Compared with WPS: chart controls are detailed, but the official guidance is mainly for Google Sheets on computer; WPS is more direct for mobile spreadsheet editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more database-view oriented; free users can try one chart, and chart views do not edit database entries directly. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's chart feature is designed for report analytics in Acrobat Sign rather than everyday spreadsheet chart creation. |
