Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Configure a scale question inside the Smart Forms voting module, then edit settings, preview the result, and save the question.	Microsoft Forms lets you add a Rating question in a form or quiz and preview the quiz before sharing.	Google Forms supports Linear scale and Rating question types, including scale range, end labels, and required settings.	Notion Forms lets users create and customize form questions, mark them required, add descriptions, and preview the form, with question types tied to database properties.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form fields and calculations for fillable documents rather than a native online voting scale workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The scale question entry is placed directly in the voting workflow, making it convenient to configure, preview, and revise in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: It supports Rating questions and preview, but the workflow is centered on general form and quiz building.	Compared with WPS: It offers clear scale question types, but the workflow is designed for general-purpose forms rather than a voting-focused path.	Compared with WPS: It supports form creation and sharing, but creation and customization are mainly handled in desktop and web apps, and some advanced logic depends on paid plans.	Compared with WPS: It is stronger for PDF form fields and calculations, but it is not a direct online voting scale solution.
