GRIN is an influencer marketing platform, which is fundamentally different from an online publishing platform like Medium. While GRIN deals with content and its performance, it's focused on managing influencer campaigns for brands, not providing a platform for independent writers to publish long-form articles and monetize them through a membership model. The core 'must-have' features of a rich text editor, distribution/recommendation engine for long-form content, and membership monetization for writers are not present. It does offer some tangential features related to content performance tracking and social sharing, but these are in the context of influencer marketing, not content publishing.
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.
