Websites like this are completely useless once you know where to get real comparisons.
Just go to Google and type in "<product> vs " and let Google's autocomplete suggest the top competitors.
No need for sites like these.
- switchstance 9y agoI have been going to Crunchbase, looking up a company, and scrolling down to see their "competitors." Though, they're often not listed. But, I like your suggestion and will give it a try in the future.
- sharemywin 9y agoexcept how do you think google mines that data. if those sites go away so does google's free loading....
- hobofan 9y agoGoogle mines that data by other people searching for that, not (only) by scraping it off sites. Yes, they also do that, but AFAIK search trends have a higher relevance than scraped suggestions. As long as people want to know how their existing product stacks up against another product they have heard of before, "<existing product> vs <other products>", will be searched and appear in the autocomplete. This approach breaks down tough for newer products, ot if you want to find the best product by quality, not just popularity.
- ggiaco 9y agoA Google search will generally turn up sites like Siftery, among others ('A vs B' is one of our very top organic search traffic drivers). Hope you'll take a look at the substitutes data specifically though. We're showing companies that are actually switching from one product to another, and then rolling that up to showcase some trends and insights.
