MODX is an open-source CMS and application framework. While it provides tools for content creation and management, it is not primarily a publishing platform like Medium. It offers a rich text editor (TinyMCE as an Extra), and allows for user profiles and content tagging, but it lacks the core features of a dedicated publishing platform such as a built-time distribution and recommendation engine, and a built-in membership monetization model for writers. Its focus is on providing a flexible framework for building websites, rather than a curated content 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.
