The JewishWeb staff has done a non-scientific, non-thorough survey of some of the other major Jewish Web sites (no need to mention names), and here is what we found.
| Category | The Other Guys | JewishWeb |
| Price | $100+ / month for a commercial site. | $20 / month. |
| Location of your site | You have to have your site on their server. | Where you put your site is your business. |
| Design of your pages | Your pages may have to "fit the mold." | Whose pages are they, anyway? For quality, discount Web page design try Excellence Internet Services. |
| Number of pages | More pages means higher charges. | One charge for all sites. |
| Customer Service | You will be one of dozens or hundreds of clients. | All we are doing is linking to you. How much service could you possibly need? |
| Outside link policy | Linking to other sites outside theirs may be restricted or forbidden! | You link to whomever you want. |
| Speed of your pages | Due to their server's bandwidth problems, your pages may load slowly. | You put your pages on the fastest host you can find! |
| Hits to the site | Lots of hits, shared unevenly by lots of clients. | Fewer hits, but shared by fewer clients. No matter how small, your site will get noticed! |
