| Capability Summary | In Smart Form, you can open the Exam section and configure Contacts, then edit, preview, and save within the same workflow. | Microsoft Forms lets you adjust quiz or form settings such as responder identity, recorded names, and response scope, with a focus on responder and quiz settings. | Google Forms lets you turn a form into a quiz, collect email addresses, and adjust respondent settings and grade release options. | Notion Forms can capture respondent identity through Respondent or Created by properties, and it supports anonymous responses and sharing controls. | Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on publishing documents as online forms, with viewer roles, recipient identification, and submitted data collection. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Contacts is placed directly inside the exam workflow, so setup, preview, and saving can be completed in one editing path. | Compared with WPS: settings focus on general forms and quizzes, rather than a separate built-in contact entry inside an exam flow. | Compared with WPS: the main focus is quiz grading and email collection, while contact handling is usually built through fields and response settings. | Compared with WPS: respondent capture and anonymous responses are supported, but form creation and customization are centered on desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: it is more oriented to online signing and business forms than to contact setup inside an exam workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Contacts fits users who are already building an exam in Smart Form and want to complete contact-related setup in the same editing flow. Other products also support collecting responder information, but they are generally positioned around general forms, quiz settings, or published web forms rather than a dedicated exam contact step.
