Marker edges out Pen modestly on homepage messaging, 76 to 63. Here's where the gap comes from.

Marker has stronger CTAs (85 vs 47). Pen triggers decision paralysis with 26 competing CTAs, while Marker keeps it focused at 7. Marker is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 43 vs 15). Marker's targeting is decent, while Pen's is generic. Marker has a much stronger pricing page (100 vs 0). Pen doesn't have a detectable pricing page at all.

Marker uses a "Platform / Ecosystem" positioning while Pen goes with "Price / Value Leader" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
