Readly is an online platform that offers unlimited access to a vast library of digital magazines and newspapers through a subscription model. While it provides a content distribution platform and monetization, it differs significantly from Medium's focus on independent writers creating and monetizing their own long-form articles. Readly is more akin to a digital newsstand or library for existing publications, rather than a platform for user-generated content with a rich text editor and community feedback tools for individual stories. It does not appear to have features for writers to create content, track engagement metrics for their own articles, or engage with readers in the same way as Medium. However, it does offer a subscription model, mobile app access, search and discovery features, and content categorization via tags/topics.
I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.
It handles edge cases much better and the API
is actually documented properly.

Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
