How would you say this compares to the Web Monetization standard (https://webmonetization.org/) and Coil (https://coil.com/)?
I guess the question is from both a content creator and a reader's point of view.
What's better about your offering?

Our universal monetization model indeed draws comparisons to Coil, Brave Rewards, Flattr, Twitter Blue... we have in common that we try to make the web more ethical & sustainable. For a writer or publisher, we're one more monetization source for which they don't have to do extra work. And we come with a community of readers that you can interact deeply with (example: https://readup.com/comments/organizer-sandbox/ginny-our-litt...).
Coil had [an article discovery Reddit-clone](https://coil.com/blogs), but they have moved that to [Write.as](https://write.as/) now. I invite you to look at Readup's ranking and compare what you see!
- Readup is universal. As a content creator you don't have to opt in by creating an account or adding new metadata to your site. You can send me a link to a blog post you published 5 years ago and after I read it using Readup you'll have a balance in our system.
- Readup is specifically focused on reading articles. This means content creators get paid only when an article is read in full vs. a time-on-page metric that the Web Monetization API and other services like Flattr use.
