PenCake is primarily a writing application focused on a distraction-free environment. It offers a rich text editor with Markdown support and allows users to create and organize their writings. While it has user profiles and is available on mobile, it lacks the core features of a publishing platform like a distribution/recommendation engine, monetization, or community feedback tools for readers beyond the writer's personal use. It's more of a personal writing tool than a public content platform.

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.
