Hey, thanks for the questions. The rewards that Answerly pay the writers is the most important factor that differentiates Answerly from Quora and YA. YA mainly focuses on short answers on personal/random questions. The best alternative to Yahoo Answers is reddit/r/askreddit. Our main competition is Quora. Quora was once known to be the most relevant platform for detailed answers to informational questions.

However, in the last few years, it has transformed more into a "self-promoting" platform. To verify this claim, just look up for something like "What are the best ways to lose weight" on Quora and you'll mostly see the users with copied content (from other blogs) + link to their website/affiliate links.

The reason is pretty straight-forward. There isn't any incentive for posting on Quora other than the referral traffic, the users are posting just about anything that could bring traffic to their own websites. This has resulted in high amount of low-effort/spam content on Quora.

Our aim is to offer that incentive so that the users focus less on promoting their personal blogs and more on the quality of answers. In addition, we also have an integrated plagiarism checker + algorithms that would always ensure the quality of the answers.

As for the visitors, Unlike Quora - we don't require the visitors to sign up to the platform to view answers. Lastly, the visitors don't usually use Quora for its quality, they use it because Quora usually ranks at the top for millions of search queries. We can also receive high volume of organic traffic with proper SEO strategies.
