How does this project compare to Golem?

This project doesn't compare to Golem. Golem is more advanced and capable in every way, and that's reflected in its marketcap. You can read a more reliable assessment of Golem's plans here: https://blog.golemproject.net/the-challenges-ahead-933f040cba95

The XEL fanboys want you to think Golem is nothing but a glorified rendering machine, but that's only so they can trick you into buying their worthless XEL coins at 100x the ICO price:

Task definition and verification

Golem requires a foundation suitable for creating distributed tasks of general and specific applications (e.g. rendering vs a custom application). A task definition framework and related API calls are being developed in order to streamline the creation process. By providing templates for common applications, this system will help users define task parameters and prerequisites, break tasks down to subtasks, and create verification and result collection processes.

You might be interested in these other tidbits about XEL too:

The original developer (Lannister) abandoned the project
There is no current white paper
The new developer insists on remaining anonymous, which will most likely prevent XEL from being listed on major exchanges. It also means he can easily take the money and disappear if these coins ever become valuable
The current marketcap was basically pulled out of thin air by the few people who hold the majority of XEL. 25k sats is an absurd price for this coin. Even 5k sats is a ripoff

Lannister was never the original developer. He was community manager for a while.

Status of Lannister and the ICO funds
April 15, 2017 by Unvoid

Lannister is gone. ICO funds are gone. We dont know why. We dont know if we ever see him again. Its not like he took all the funds and run away because before disappearing he rewarded some of community members with some BTC for their work. He mentioned that he have some health problems also. Thats all we know now.

Its not like he didnt helped us. He helped a lot. Mostly on server and scripts side.

There have been multiple warnings about XEL. Someone even warned that XEL was a scam shortly before Lannister disappeared with the money: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1426466.0
