Competitive Market Analysis

While Bullet Journal has a similar brand style with its use of neutral colors and sans-serif typography, this platform costs users money.

While the Reflection.app is free to use, it has too many hashtags, which overwhelms the user.

While Penzu’s basics are free to use, its user interface and visual design feel and seem to be outdated/old-school.
