They answer different questions. Similarweb estimates how much traffic a competitor gets and from where. RivalDesk tells you what a competitor changed, pricing, product, messaging, hiring, and what to do about it. Many teams use both.
No. RivalDesk is not a traffic-estimation tool. It monitors competitor actions and signals rather than estimating their web analytics.
If you need to act on competitor moves, start with RivalDesk. If you need traffic and channel estimates for market sizing, Similarweb is the specialist.
