Udemy is primarily an online learning platform, not a content publishing and distribution platform for writers. While it offers a vast library of courses and a subscription model (membership-monetization), its core purpose is skill development through structured courses, not the free-form article publishing and community engagement that Medium provides. It does have search and discovery features for courses, but lacks the rich text editor, reader engagement metrics, and specific monetization models for individual writers that are central to Medium's 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.
