One of my favorite examples of this is Bitrix24, which made maybe a hundred such pages: https://www.bitrix24.com/alternatives/ https://www.bitrix24.com/alternatives/
For most startups you don't need to go that far... Just making an "alternative" page for your biggest competitor could start bringing you people who are eager to switch.
