Writco is a strong match for the Medium concept. It offers a platform for writers to create and publish various forms of content (stories, poems, quotes), which implies a rich text editor. It explicitly mentions an 'Advanced Discovery' system using AI-ML algorithms for content recommendations, and writers can earn rewards, cash prizes, and royalties, indicating monetization. The platform also features social writing and networking, including following writers, comments, and likes, which align with community feedback and user profiles. It is available as a mobile app and supports content categorization through genres/categories, which is similar to tags and topics. The ability to share work and build a community also implies social sharing and embedding, and the 'Advanced Discovery' and 'Explore' features cover search and discovery. While not explicitly stated as 'reader engagement metrics' in the same terms, the 'Rewards & Recognition' for content and engagement, along with comments and likes, suggest tracking of engagement.
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.
Check it out at our site.
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.
