Scholastica offers a platform for academic journal publishing, which includes features for managing peer review, article production, and open access journal hosting. While it focuses on academic journals rather than general long-form content for independent writers, it shares several core functionalities. It provides tools for creating and hosting articles (rich-text-editor, though not explicitly called out, is implied by article production and hosting), offers readership analytics (reader-engagement-metrics), supports journal management (publication-management), and optimizes articles for search and discovery (search-and-discovery). Social sharing is also mentioned through integrations. However, it lacks direct monetization for individual writers based on reading time and a personalized recommendation engine for readers, which are key aspects of 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.
