The candidate, WooCommerce, is an eCommerce platform that integrates with WordPress to allow users to build online stores and sell products. The provided description for 'Medium' is an online publishing platform focused on writers and readers, with features like rich text editors, recommendation engines, and monetization through memberships for content. While both platforms deal with content and monetization, WooCommerce is specifically for selling physical or digital products in an e-commerce context, not for publishing long-form articles or providing a reading experience like Medium. None of the 'must-have' features (rich-text-editor, distribution-and-recommendation-engine, membership-monetization, reader-engagement-metrics, community-feedback-tools) or 'other' features (publication-management, user-profiles-and-following, tags-and-topics, email-newsletter-integration, audio-story-playback, mobile-app-access, social-sharing-and-embedding, search-and-discovery) directly align with the core functionality of an e-commerce platform as described for Medium. The monetization in WooCommerce is for products, not for reading time on articles, and its 'content' creation is for product descriptions, not long-form articles.
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.
