Sameness · vs 4 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is half shared.

About half of what your page says, 1Kosmos also says. You're less same than 179 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 57. Incode scores 69. 1Kosmos scores 62. Nametag scores 59. Didit scores 54. 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. More same than average

    The average SaaS site scores 56; you scored 57.

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

  2. Closest overlap: 1Kosmos

    Of the 4 sites you named, 1Kosmos echoes the most of what your page says. Scored the same way against the rest of the set, 1Kosmos sits at 62.

    1Kosmos is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    5% 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.

    5% 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 Incode, 1Kosmos, Nametag and Didit: 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. Adapt your identity operations to every regulation

    Incode, 1Kosmos and Didit say it too (75% of the set). 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. Positioned highest for the Ability to Execute for the third year in a row

    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. A configurable identity platform that adapts to your business needs — from identity verification to KYC/AML, KYB, age assurance or any other use case.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: incode, 1Kosmos and Didit say it too (75% of the set), and your hero 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.

What you can own

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.

Where you blend in

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.

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%60The 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%51Every 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%65Expected 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%48Same 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%n/aThe 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%64Weighted 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 “Adapt your identity operations to every regulation”.

    Incode, 1Kosmos and Didit say it too (75% of the set). 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

    This is the set's common ground — Incode, 1Kosmos and Didit say it too (75% of the set). It will not set you apart wherever it sits, and in the hero it costs you the one place a distinctive claim would be read.

  4. 4
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Unify your identity processes”.

    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 “The identity layer built to scale.”.

    Surface“Positioned highest for the Ability to Execute for the third year in a row” 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.
