Tinypng edges out Shortpixel modestly on homepage messaging, 77 to 71. Here's where the gap comes from.

Shortpixel is clearer about what it does (100 vs 37 on clarity). Shortpixel's hero ("Compress and optimize your images with ShortPixel") names something concrete, while Tinypng's ("Smart AVIF, WebP, PNG and JPEG Compression for Faster Websi…") stays abstract. Tinypng is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 81 vs 40). Tinypng's targeting is crystal-clear, while Shortpixel's is decent.

Shortpixel uses a "Premium / Quality Leader" positioning while Tinypng goes with "Platform / Ecosystem" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
