Refinery CMS is a content management system for Ruby on Rails. While it provides a platform for managing content, it is not specifically an online publishing platform like Medium. It offers a rich text editor and basic search/tagging functionalities, but lacks the core features of a dedicated publishing platform such as a recommendation engine, membership monetization, and detailed reader engagement metrics. Its focus is on website content management rather than a community-driven publishing ecosystem.
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.
