Sameness · vs 4 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is half shared.

About half of what your page says, crematic also says. You're less same than 205 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 55. Dealpath scores 49. crematic scores 58. Yardi scores 57. Buildout scores 57. The SaaS avg is 56.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 4 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

  1. Less same than average

    The average SaaS site scores 56; you scored 55.

    You are 1 point less same than the average SaaS site.

  2. Closest overlap: crematic

    Of the 4 sites you named, crematic echoes the most of what your page says. Scored the same way against the rest of the set, crematic sits at 58.

    crematic is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    11% of your claim space is ownable: unique, relevant, and hard to copy. 1 of those claims sits in body copy, where few readers reach it.

    11% is ownable, and 1 buried opportunity could help you stand out more.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Dealpath, crematic, Yardi and Buildout: 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. Harold is trained on your firm's own deals, so it works the way you already do and gets sharper every time you use it

    Dealpath, crematic, Yardi and Buildout all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your section — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.
  2. Choose EU or US hosting to match compliance and client needs

    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. From the first email to the finished deal

    Keep the fact, lose the position: dealpath, crematic, Yardi and Buildout all say it too, and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.

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.

Territory you spend prominent space on that the set also occupies. Not every line is one to delete — the question is whether it has earned the space, or whether something only you can say should be there instead.

What the columns mean
Claim
The grouped claim, then your exact line beneath it.
Type
What kind of claim it is: category, segment, outcome, capability, quality or proof.
Placement
Where it sits on your page: hero, section or body copy. Hero claims weigh most in the index.
Same claim
Share of the competitors making this exact claim. Drives ownership and ownable share.
Same territory
Share of the competitors with any claim in the same buyer-facing territory. This is what the index is scored on.
Sayability
Whether a competitor could truthfully make the same claim: anyone could, copyable with effort, or hard to copy.
Relevant
Whether buyers decide on this. A unique claim nobody buys on is not ownable.
Ownership
Commodity: 60% or more of the set says it. Contested: 20–59%. Unique: under 20%, owned when it is also hard to copy.

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%81The 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%50Every 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%72Expected 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%6Same 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%23The 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%42Weighted 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 section copy says “Harold is trained on your firm's own deals, so it works the way you already do and gets sharper every time yo…”.

    Dealpath, crematic, Yardi and Buildout all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your section — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

  2. 2
    Table stakesYour section copy says “From the first email to the finished deal”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: dealpath, crematic, Yardi and Buildout all say it too, and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  3. 3
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Every deal, document and decision compounds into an asset the firm owns and never loses”.

    This is the set's common ground — Dealpath, crematic, Yardi and Buildout 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 “Harold takes on the deal work your team does by hand and keeps it moving to completion”.

    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 body copy says “Deal workflow”.

    True of you and true of them: Dealpath, crematic, Yardi and Buildout all say it too. That is why it decides nothing, and why the body is the wrong place to spend it.

  6. 6
    Table stakesYour body copy says “Matching & outreach”.

    In the body: Keep the fact, lose the position: dealpath, crematic and Buildout say it too (75% of the set), and your body is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  7. 7
    Surface“Choose EU or US hosting to match compliance and client needs” 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.

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.
