Pull together what's public and what you already know about a competitor, in one brief.

BrowserGoogle DriveGmail

What you know about a competitor is split between their website and what's in your own documents and inbox. This puts both side by side, for the competitor named when you ask.

What you’ll get

A one-page brief: what they offer and charge, where they win and where you do, with a link to every source.

Example output

Acme — Charges: $12/seat (pricing). They win on: price. You win on: integrations. A customer: "We're comparing you with Acme on price" (email).

The method
