Rationale
Bitbooks was a service designed to help developers publish books online using Markdown and GitHub. While it facilitated content creation and publishing, it lacked many of the advanced features of a full-fledged online publishing platform like Medium, such as a recommendation engine, monetization models, or detailed reader engagement metrics. The project was also shut down in 2015, indicating it's not a current competitor.

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.
Why we migrated away from [Product]

The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
