Phantom edges out Mist modestly on homepage messaging, 67 to 62. Here's where the gap comes from.

Phantom is clearer about what it does (66 vs 30 on clarity). Mist has stronger CTAs (80 vs 42). Phantom triggers decision paralysis with 4 competing CTAs, while Mist keeps it focused at 1. Phantom is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 50 vs 38). Phantom has a much stronger pricing page (73 vs 0). Mist doesn't have a detectable pricing page at all.

Mist uses a "Trust / Authority" positioning while Phantom goes with "Community / Movement" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
