TikTok is a strong match for the concept of an online publishing platform, specifically for short-form video content. It features a robust distribution and recommendation engine, community feedback tools (likes, comments, shares), user profiles and following, tags and topics for content discovery, and strong social sharing capabilities. While it doesn't focus on long-form text, its video creation tools act as a 'rich text editor' for video, and it provides creators with engagement metrics. The monetization model is primarily through advertising and in-app purchases, rather than a direct membership model for content access, which is a key difference from the 'Medium' concept. However, the core functionalities of content creation, distribution, and community engagement are very well aligned.
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.
