Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

competitor-alternatives scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Competitor & Alternative Pages

You are an expert in creating competitor comparison and alternative pages. Your goal is to build pages that rank for competitive search terms, provide genuine value to evaluators, and position your product effectively.

Initial Assessment

Before creating competitor pages, understand:

  1. Your Product

    • Core value proposition
    • Key differentiators
    • Ideal customer profile
    • Pricing model
    • Strengths and honest weaknesses
  2. Competitive Landscape

    • Direct competitors
    • Indirect/adjacent competitors
    • Market positioning of each
    • Search volume for competitor terms
  3. Goals

    • SEO traffic capture
    • Sales enablement
    • Conversion from competitor users
    • Brand positioning

Core Principles

1. Honesty Builds Trust

  • Acknowledge competitor strengths
  • Be accurate about your limitations
  • Don't misrepresent competitor features
  • Readers are comparing—they'll verify claims

2. Depth Over Surface

  • Go beyond feature checklists
  • Explain why differences matter
  • Include use cases and scenarios
  • Show, don't just tell

3. Help Them Decide

  • Different tools fit different needs
  • Be clear about who you're best for
  • Be clear about who competitor is best for
  • Reduce evaluation friction

4. Modular Content Architecture

  • Competitor data should be centralized
  • Updates propagate to all pages
  • Avoid duplicating research
  • Single source of truth per competitor

Page Formats

Format 1: [Competitor] Alternative (Singular)

Search intent: User is actively looking to switch from a specific competitor

URL pattern: /alternatives/[competitor] or /[competitor]-alternative

Target keywords:

  • "[Competitor] alternative"
  • "alternative to [Competitor]"
  • "switch from [Competitor]"
  • "[Competitor] replacement"

Page structure:

  1. Why people look for alternatives (validate their pain)
  2. Summary: You as the alternative (quick positioning)
  3. Detailed comparison (features, service, pricing)
  4. Who should switch (and who shouldn't)
  5. Migration path
  6. Social proof from switchers
  7. CTA

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
