Rationale
Wattpad is a strong match for the Medium concept. It provides a platform for writers to create and share stories, and for readers to discover and engage with content. It explicitly mentions a 'social storytelling platform' and features like 'reading or writing original stories,' 'connect with a community of story-lovers,' 'comment directly in stories,' 'Wattpad Premium' for ads-free reading, and 'Wattpad Studios' for discovering writers. The platform also supports user profiles, reading lists, and search/discovery of stories by genre/topic. While it doesn't explicitly detail 'reader engagement metrics' beyond community interaction, the core functionalities align very well.

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.

After struggling with [Product]'s limitations, we decided to build our own solution.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
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]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
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.
