Schwab edges out Cboe modestly on homepage messaging, 70 to 66. Here's where the gap comes from.

Schwab is clearer about what it does (50 vs 40 on clarity). Schwab's hero ("Manage your wealth, your way.") names something concrete, while Cboe's ("Life is Better With Options.®") stays abstract. Cboe has stronger CTAs (75 vs 60). Schwab triggers decision paralysis with 6 competing CTAs, while Cboe keeps it focused at 6. Schwab has a much stronger pricing page (95 vs 0). Cboe doesn't have a detectable pricing page at all.

Both sites use the "Platform / Ecosystem" positioning archetype — they're competing on the same narrative, which means differentiation has to come from execution, not framing.
