Capability Summary	Provides a Contacts entry inside the Smart Forms relay workflow, so you can open contact settings and confirm them during editing.	Microsoft Forms lets you choose who can respond and share forms through links, QR codes, embeds, Outlook, or Teams to collect responses.	Google Forms lets you publish forms, manage responder access, and share forms through links, email, or embeds.	Notion Forms connects forms to databases and supports sharing, anonymous responses, and form setup on desktop and web.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on turning documents into online forms for creation, publishing, tracking, and signing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Contacts is placed directly in the Smart Forms relay editing flow, which helps you open the entry, adjust settings, and confirm changes in one editing context.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on form distribution and response collection than on a relay-style contact setup entry inside the editing flow.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on publishing, sharing, and response controls than on a contact setup entry in a relay workflow.	Compared with WPS: It offers stronger database-linked form building, while creation and customization are centered on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: It is more oriented to document-based web forms and e-sign workflows than to relay contact configuration.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Contacts is more closely aligned with contact setup inside a Smart Forms relay editing workflow on macOS. The other products emphasize broader form publishing, sharing, database workflows, or signing scenarios, so their primary use cases differ from this feature.
