Rationale
Beacons is primarily a 'link in bio' tool for creators, offering features like a customizable profile page, analytics, and monetization options (selling digital products, memberships). While it has some features that overlap with an online publishing platform (like email marketing and analytics), it lacks the core 'rich text editor' for long-form content creation and a 'distribution & recommendation engine' for surfacing content within its own platform, which are must-have features for Medium. It focuses more on aggregating existing social media content and direct sales/marketing for creators rather than hosting and distributing original 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.

After struggling with [Product]'s limitations, we decided to build our own solution.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Nov 30·+67
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.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Nov 27·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
