Weebly is primarily a website builder with strong e-commerce capabilities, which differs from Medium's focus on content publishing and monetization for writers. While Weebly allows users to create blogs and has features like a drag-and-drop editor (akin to a rich text editor), site statistics (reader engagement metrics), and forms (which can be used for lead capture/email newsletters), it lacks the core algorithmic distribution and monetization model that defines Medium. The 'community feedback tools' are present in the form of comments on blogs, and 'user profiles and following' are implied through author pages and the ability to follow blogs. 'Tags and topics' are supported through SEO and categorization features. However, the emphasis is on building a website for various purposes (e-commerce, business, personal) rather than a platform specifically designed for writers to publish and monetize long-form content through a shared membership model.
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.
