Feather is an article saving and reading app, not a publishing platform. While it offers a clean reading experience and some text formatting options (which could be loosely interpreted as a 'rich text editor' for consumption), it lacks the core publishing and distribution features of Medium. It does not allow users to create and publish their own long-form content for a broad audience, nor does it have a recommendation engine for user-generated content. It has in-app purchases for 'Pro' features, which is a form of monetization, and offers text-to-speech (audio story playback), mobile app access, sharing features, and search. However, it fundamentally misses the 'publishing' aspect of the concept.
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.
