How directly these products compete. Three or more shared categories means they're going after the same user. One shared category means they approach the space from different angles. Zero overlap and they probably shouldn't be compared.
Comparisons are generated automatically when two products have enough data overlap. If the pair you want isn't here, the products might be in different categories or too far apart in engagement.
Either the product didn't meet our engagement threshold, or it doesn't share enough category tags with the other product to generate a meaningful comparison. We'd rather show no comparison than a misleading one.
Each product's data reflects its launch period. The comparison shows both products' engagement metrics from when they launched. The build date at the bottom of the page shows when the index was last refreshed.
Not yet. Current comparisons use launch-period data only. Post-launch tracking is on our roadmap.
Generally, yes. Engagement ratio is hard to fake. A product can generate artificial interest, but sustained discussion threads require people who actually used the product and had something to say about it.
