Compare: a short list side by side

  1. Tick the products you are torn between. A bar at the bottom shows Compare (3). You can also add products inside Compare.
  2. Open Compare. Up to six products appear in columns, with the same priorities and the same current prices.
  3. Keep Differences only ticked. Rows that are identical disappear.
  4. Read the trade-off. What do you give up for what you gain? A higher grade for a higher price, or more memory for more power?

Where to look: the toolbar (Value menu, Customize, Differences only, Copy for AI) and, under each product, a short note such as Lower current price or Higher Value with these priorities.

Head-to-head: one pair in depth

A head-to-head page compares exactly two products and adds:

  • The price at which the answer changes. How cheap the other product would have to get for its Value to match.
  • Priority sensitivity. Whether a small change in your priorities would swap the order.
  • Market position. Where each product sits among everything in its market.
