Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you create a smart spreadsheet from the Home screen through the plus button and open it directly in editing mode.	Excel provides spreadsheet creation and data-entry basics, and its official help content covers getting started with workbooks.	Google Sheets lets users create spreadsheets, format them, and collaborate, with an official help page that includes Android access.	Notion can create database tables to organize pages and properties, but it is not a native cell-based spreadsheet tool.	Acrobat on mobile focuses on PDF reading, commenting, signing, and some PDF creation tasks, not spreadsheet creation.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps spreadsheet creation inside one mobile office entry flow, so starting a new sheet is quick and direct.	Compared with WPS: workbook creation is supported, but the selected official page is a general getting-started resource.	Compared with WPS: strong online collaboration is available, but the workflow centers on the Google Sheets service.	Compared with WPS: better suited to structured content management than spreadsheet-style cell editing.	Compared with WPS: focused on PDF workflows rather than spreadsheet creation.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to start a new spreadsheet quickly on Android and begin editing right away, WPS offers a short and direct mobile workflow. If your team already works inside another collaboration ecosystem, that platform may still fit better for broader service integration.
