Paypal edges out Xoom modestly on homepage messaging, 79 to 70. Here's where the gap comes from.

Xoom is clearer about what it does (82 vs 25 on clarity). Paypal is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 45 vs 15). Paypal's targeting is decent, while Xoom's is generic. Paypal has a much stronger pricing page (90 vs 0). Xoom doesn't have a detectable pricing page at all.

Paypal uses a "Platform / Ecosystem" positioning while Xoom goes with "Trust / Authority" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
