67
Sameness · vs 2 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is mostly the same.

Most of what your page says, Mews says too. You're less same than 62 of the 366 SaaS sites scored (SaaS avg 56).

No category benchmark matched this set.
Sameness Index on a 0 to 100 scale, from distinctive at 0 to interchangeable at 100. This page scores 67. Mews scores 59. Guesty scores 60. The SaaS avg is 56.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 2 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

  1. More same than average

    The average SaaS site scores 56; you scored 67.

    You are 11 points more same than the average SaaS site.

  2. Closest overlap: Mews

    Of the 2 sites you named, Mews echoes the most of what your page says. Scored the same way against the rest of the set, Mews sits at 59.

    Mews is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    24% of your claim space is ownable: unique, relevant, and hard to copy. 6 of those claims sit in body copy, where few readers reach them.

    24% is ownable, and 6 buried opportunities could help you stand out more.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Mews and Guesty: the shared claim taking your most prominent space, then the claims only you make that sit too low on the page to be read. Each one links to its claim card.

  1. Boost your revenue with AI, from pricing to marketing

    Mews and Guesty all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.
  2. Handles 70% of guest questions

    Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.

    Surface
    Yours alone. Test it higher up.
  3. Grow direct sales from your site with a booking engine you and your guests love to use

    A claim that is yours alone, filed in body copy. Try it where it will be read before the shared claims are, and let buyers tell you if it moves them.

    Surface
    Yours alone. Test it higher up.

Try these changes, then test them with real buyers.

This measures overlap. Whether buyers notice is a different question, and only they can answer it.

Why this is not 100 minus the Sameness Index

The index is a weighted composite across six categories, including page structure and visuals. This bar is measured on your claims alone, weighted by where each one sits on the page. Different denominators, so the two never add to 100 and are not meant to.

How this was calculated

Sameness measures how much your claims overlap with the sites compared. It does not measure message quality or whether buyers prefer you.

AI-analyzed: an AI read each page on its own and grouped the claims that say the same thing. No score here was written by a model — every number is computed from those groupings in our own code, with the weights below.

How the score is built
The six category scores, their weights, and what a high score in each one means
CategoryWeightYoursWhat a high score means
Messaging
Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised
30%80The most expensive kind of sameness. A buyer cannot tell what job you do that the others do not.
Claims
Attribute and benefit claims — speed, ease, quality, ROI
30%86Every shared claim is a line already read on another tab. Cut the ones nobody owns and spend the space on something they cannot.
Features
Capabilities and functions the page lists
15%50Expected in a mature category, and the least alarming of the six. Feature parity is normal; leading with it is the mistake.
Proof
The kinds of evidence offered: customer logos, numbers, testimonials, case studies, badges
10%38Same kinds of proof as everyone means the proof stops working as proof. It is scored on the kind of evidence, not on which customers are named.
Structure
Section order, navigation, CTA language and placement
10%31The generic SaaS template — hero, logos, three-feature grid, testimonial, CTA. Familiar is not the same as memorable.
Visual
Palette family, imagery style, layout patterns
5%52Weighted lowest on purpose: buyers rarely decide on this. Worth knowing, rarely worth fixing first.

Each site was read on its own first, with no knowledge of the others, so your page gets no benefit of the doubt a competitor’s does not. A category nothing could be measured for drops out and the rest are re-weighted, rather than counted as zero.

What it cannot tell you

The index can find where two pages converge. It cannot say whether a buyer would notice, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. A single check also moves several points between runs, so read the band and the ranking, not the last digit.

Your highest-impact changes

  1. 1
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “Boost your revenue with AI, from pricing to marketing”.

    Mews and Guesty all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

  2. 2
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “You don't need to work harder – just smarter”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: mews and Guesty all say it too, and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  3. 3
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Less manual work, more bookings, more revenue”.

    This is the set's common ground — Mews and Guesty all say it too. It will not set you apart wherever it sits, and in the section it costs you the one place a distinctive claim would be read.

  4. 4
    Table stakesYour section copy says “All the software you need is already integrated into one platform, complete with technical support”.

    A buyer with three tabs open reads a version of this on every one of them. Say it further down for the readers who need it; the section should carry a claim they will only find here.

  5. 5
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Up to +30% annual revenue on average”.

    True of you and true of them: Mews and Guesty all say it too. That is why it decides nothing, and why the section is the wrong place to spend it.

  6. 6
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Recommended by over 6,000 accommodation providers in Europe”.

    In the section: Keep the fact, lose the position: mews and Guesty all say it too, and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  7. 7
    Table stakesYour body copy says “Multi-user, multi-property, multi-company”.

    In the body: True of you and true of them: Mews and Guesty all say it too. That is why it decides nothing, and why the body is the wrong place to spend it.

  8. 8
    Surface“Handles 70% of guest questions” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.

  9. 9
    Surface“Grow direct sales from your site with a booking engine you and your guests love to use” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    A claim that is yours alone, filed in body copy. Try it where it will be read before the shared claims are, and let buyers tell you if it moves them.

  10. 10
    Surface“Option to request dedicated consulting” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    No competitor page makes this claim. Today it is in body copy; it is a candidate for the space the table-stakes lines are taking.

  11. 11
    Surface“Reduce acquisition costs and increase direct bookings with AI-generated email marketing campaigns” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    The rest of the set has nothing on this ground. Buried in body copy it does no work; higher up it is the one line a comparing buyer cannot find elsewhere.

  12. 12
    Surface“Multi-user, multi-property, multi-company” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.

    Filed in body copy: Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.

    Filed in body copy: Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.

The only way to know if it matters.

This report can tell you where your messaging overlaps. It cannot tell you whether a buyer would care, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. Put the page in front of real B2B buyers in your target market and ask them.
