Traefik edges out Nginx significantly on homepage messaging, 72 to 39. Here's where the gap comes from.

Traefik is clearer about what it does (72 vs 24 on clarity). Traefik has stronger CTAs (85 vs 45). Traefik is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 89 vs 58). Traefik's targeting is crystal-clear, while Nginx's is decent. Traefik has a much stronger pricing page (95 vs 0). Nginx doesn't have a detectable pricing page at all.

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