R Discovery is an academic research platform that provides access to scholarly articles and papers. It offers AI-powered recommendations, search capabilities, and tools for organizing research. While it focuses on academic content rather than general long-form articles, it shares several features with the 'Medium' concept, such as content distribution and recommendation, user profiles, tagging, and mobile access. However, it lacks a rich text editor for content creation and a direct monetization model for writers based on reading time, which are core to the 'Medium' concept.

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.
