Wanderlog edges out Polarsteps modestly on homepage messaging, 79 to 66. Here's where the gap comes from.

Polarsteps is clearer about what it does (72 vs 59 on clarity). Wanderlog has stronger CTAs (75 vs 57). Wanderlog is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 40 vs 0). Wanderlog's targeting is decent, while Polarsteps's is absent.

Polarsteps uses a "Premium / Quality Leader" positioning while Wanderlog goes with "Simplifier / Easy Button" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
