Capability Summary	Configure scale questions inside the survey module of the Smart Forms editor, including editing, setting parameters, previewing, and saving.	Microsoft Forms includes a Likert question type that can be added when creating a form or quiz.	Google Forms includes Linear scale and Multiple choice grid question types for ratings and scale-based responses.	Notion Forms can collect responses through database-connected forms, with questions mapped to database properties.	Adobe Acrobat web forms support online form collection and signing workflows, but they are not centered on survey scale-question editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the scale question entry is part of the survey editing flow, so setup, preview, and saving stay in one path. Distinct: the workflow is focused on form editing.	Compared with WPS: it offers a native Likert type, but the official page is framed around general form and quiz creation.	Compared with WPS: it offers scale and grid question types, but the setup is described as separate question-type choices rather than one survey-editing flow.	Compared with WPS: it is tightly connected to databases, and form creation and customization are mainly handled on desktop and web.	Compared with WPS: it is more suitable for document-style web forms and e-sign workflows than survey scale editing.
