If my search for popular Google Doodle games gave me everything that was popular, everything Google, everything Doodle and every game out there, I'd be lost!
If you're expecting your user to ...

The responses use Likert scale which you use to score your application. The scoring output is a grade like C+ or B- . This is great to see how your application has improved ...

At a high level I would consider the main difference to be the maturity of the solution.
In one case you have presumably a relatively mature existing solution. Work has been done, decisions made and possibly expectations set about the understanding of the problem, including users, technical aspects, content, organisational aspects, information architecture ...
