Capability Summary	Provides a Number question type inside the Smart Forms survey editor, with entry, parameter setup, and preview in the editing flow.	Microsoft Forms provides form and quiz settings such as response controls, question order, progress display, and question number display options.	Google Forms lets you apply number-based response validation rules to short-answer questions, including numeric conditions and ranges.	Notion databases support a Number property for numeric values, including formats such as currency and progress bars.	Adobe Acrobat form fields support number formatting, required fields, and basic calculations in PDF forms.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The Number question type is placed directly in the survey editing workflow, making it convenient to configure, preview, and continue editing in one place.	Compared with WPS: The official page focuses more on overall form settings, with less detail about a standalone number question type workflow.	Compared with WPS: Number validation is clearly documented, but it is centered on answer rules rather than a dedicated number question type setup flow.	Compared with WPS: It is better suited to database property management than a native survey question workflow.	Compared with WPS: It is more focused on PDF form design and calculations than survey-style form editing.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Number works well for quickly adding a numeric question in Smart Forms on Windows and continuing the rest of the survey setup. If your priority is a question-type workflow inside a survey editor, WPS keeps the process more centralized. If your priority is response validation, database properties, or PDF form design, Google Forms, Notion, and Adobe Acrobat each focus on those areas differently.
