Differ is an online publishing platform that allows writers to create and share content. It features a rich text editor, community feedback tools like likes and comments, and supports publications. It also has user profiles, a following system, and content categorization through tags and topics. While it explicitly states "no algorithms, no paywalls," it does have a "Personalized" feed based on followed writers and publications, and a "Trending" and "Featured" section, which acts as a form of content distribution and discovery. It also mentions a weekly newsletter from its parent company that features top articles, which can be considered a form of email newsletter integration. The platform is accessible via web browsers on any device, implying mobile access.
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.
