Mcafee edges out Macupdate significantly on homepage messaging, 69 to 37. Here's where the gap comes from.

Mcafee is clearer about what it does (72 vs 30 on clarity). Mcafee has a much stronger pricing page (95 vs 0). Macupdate doesn't have a detectable pricing page at all.

Macupdate uses a "Community / Movement" positioning while Mcafee goes with "Platform / Ecosystem" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
