Capability Summary	Provides a direct Number question entry in the Smart Forms questionnaire workflow, with editing, parameter setup, and preview.	Microsoft Forms supports question types such as Choice, Text, Rating, Date, Ranking, Likert, File upload, and Net Promoter Score, and also provides Numbering text formatting; the official page does not describe a standalone number question type.	Google Forms can apply Number rules through response validation for a Short answer question.	Notion databases provide a Number property for numeric values and display formats, but this is not a native questionnaire question type.	Acrobat PDF forms can format text fields as Number and use them in calculations, which fits PDF form workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a direct Number question entry inside the questionnaire editing flow, which is convenient for building and previewing numeric-answer questions.	Compared with WPS: the official Forms page focuses on general question types and quiz settings rather than a dedicated number question entry.	Compared with WPS: numeric input depends on a short-answer field plus validation instead of a separate number question type.	Compared with WPS: it is better suited to database records and property management than questionnaire question setup.	Compared with WPS: it is better suited to PDF field formatting and calculations than online questionnaire editing.

WPS Number is closer to a direct questionnaire editing workflow for numeric answers on macOS. Other products can also handle numeric input, but they usually do so through general validation rules, database properties, or PDF field settings.
