The Essentia team are building something new. The other projects are eventually just similar to a small part of Essentia and they usually implement some “centralized” design too. Essentia gives you the ability to integrate your favourite services, store your data, exchange messages, use these and a range of other functions effortlessly, using just a single seed. Also, the Essentia mainnet is due this quarter along with the launch of mobile apps.

To get the full experience of what Essentia has to offer and what sets it apart, I recommend checking out the fully-functional app here: app.essentia.one

And I also recommend taking a look at the recently-launched desktop version, available for Windows, Mac, and Linux: https://essentia.one/

Finally, I recommend checking out the overview of the Essentia Blockchain here: https://bit.ly/2NLmfdZ
