While Headway focuses on flashy marketing and surface-level summaries,
Juno prioritizes thoughtful product design and deep learning experiences.
Marketing spectacle vs. meaningful learning
We believe learning should be transformative, not transactional. Every feature is designed to enhance understanding and retention.
Focuses on flashy marketing campaigns and viral growth tactics rather than meaningful learning experiences.

Compare the actual learning experience
The Build-Measure-Learn feedback loop is the core of the Lean Startup methodology.
Marketing spectacle vs. product excellence
"We believe great products market themselves. Our focus is on building something genuinely useful."
"Growth at all costs. Flashy campaigns and viral content drive our strategy."
Real feedback from people who've tried both
"Headway felt like reading Twitter threads about books. Juno actually helps me understand and apply complex concepts from my work documents. The AI questions make me think deeper."
"Headway's summaries are so simplified they lose all the nuance. I felt like I was getting the CliffsNotes version of everything. Switched to Juno for actual learning."
"Headway is all marketing flash with no substance. Juno lets me upload my own research papers and get meaningful insights. No comparison in terms of actual utility."
"Headway is fine for light entertainment reading, but when I need to actually learn something for school or work, Juno is the only option that works."
Choose substance over style
We invest in building genuinely useful learning technology, not flashy marketing campaigns.
Interactive AI that adapts to your needs vs. static summaries that treat everyone the same.
Process any document, not just pre-made summaries of popular books.
Built on learning science research, not viral marketing tactics.
If you want to feel productive by consuming bite-sized content, Headway might give you that dopamine hit. But if you actually want to learn, understand, and apply knowledge, Juno is the clear choice.
