A competitive battlecard is a one-page internal reference that tells a salesperson how to handle a specific competitor in a live deal: how to position, what to say when they come up, which questions to ask early, and which claims to avoid. Fill in the fields below to generate all eight sections and export the card as markdown.
Free, no account required.
One per line as claim | proof. A claim without proof loses to a competitor with a screenshot.
As their strength | your honest response. A battlecard with no losses in it does not get used twice.
One per line. Each one generates a neutral discovery question and a landmine below.
As objection | response, in the buyer’s words, not your paraphrase.

Enter your product and one competitor to start. Sections fill in as you type, and unfilled sections show what belongs there.
# Battlecard: Our product vs Competitor Last updated: 2026-07-26 --- ## One-line positioning [Fill in your differentiators to generate this. One sentence: who Our product is for, and what they get that Competitor does not give them.] ## Where we win [List up to 8 differentiators as `claim | proof`. Anything without proof does not belong on a battlecard.] ## Where they win, and what to say [List what Competitor genuinely does better as `their strength | your honest response`. A battlecard with no losses in it does not get used twice.] ## Their weaknesses [List what Competitor is weak at, one per line. Verify each one is still true before a rep repeats it.] ## Objection handling [List the objections you actually hear as `objection | response`. Use the buyer's words, not your paraphrase.] ## Landmines to plant [Once you list their weaknesses, this section fills in with neutral evaluation criteria that favor you.] ## Do not say - Do not disparage Competitor directly. Buyers read it as insecurity and it is the fastest way to lose a room. - Do not cite a weakness you have not verified this quarter. Products get fixed, and a stale claim hands them the rebuttal. - Do not guess at their pricing. If you are not sure, say you are not sure and ask what they are paying. - Do not claim a feature you do not have yet. A roadmap promise that surfaces in onboarding becomes a churn conversation. --- _Verify every claim on this card before it reaches a customer conversation. A battlecard is only as current as the intel behind it._
Nothing you type leaves your browser, which matters because a battlecard is your positioning. Paste the markdown into Notion, Confluence, your CRM, or a Slack canvas.
Most battlecards fail the same two ways: every claim is unproven, and the competitor has no strengths. This template forces both.
| Section | Why it exists | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| One-line positioning | So a rep can answer 'how are you different' without stalling. | Generated from your first two differentiators. |
| Where we win | The claims a rep leads with. | Each one requires proof, or it is flagged as incomplete. |
| Where they win | So reality never contradicts the card mid-call. | Concede honestly, then reframe. |
| Their weaknesses | The raw material for questions and landmines. | Must be verified this quarter before a rep repeats it. |
| Discovery questions | Lets the buyer name the pain instead of you attacking. | Auto-derived from each weakness you enter. |
| Objection handling | Two-sentence responses a rep can say out loud. | Written in the buyer's words, not your paraphrase. |
| Landmines | Evaluation criteria that favor you. | Phrased as advice, never as an attack. |
| Do not say | The section that prevents self-inflicted losses. | Included on every card by default. |
Writing the first battlecard is easy. Every competitive program has one. What kills them is the second quarter, when the competitor changes their pricing page, ships the feature you listed as a gap, and hires an analyst team, and nobody updates the card.
A stale battlecard is worse than none, because a rep repeats it with confidence. The buyer, who checked the pricing page that morning, quietly stops believing the rest of the call.
So the maintenance loop matters more than the template. Before a card goes to a rep, verify each weakness against something dated: a review from this quarter, a changelog entry, a current pricing page.
Two free tools here help with that: Competitor Complaint Finder for finding current, dated complaints, and the Alert Builder for catching changes as they ship.
Step 1
Enter your product, one competitor, and who the card applies to. One card per competitor per segment. A single card that tries to cover enterprise and self-serve at once gets used for neither.
Step 2
Write each differentiator as claim | proof. The proof can be a customer example, a number, or a specific demo moment. Anything you cannot prove in one sentence does not belong on a battlecard, because a rep cannot defend it under pressure.
Step 3
Enter what the competitor genuinely does better, with the response a rep should give. Concede the real strength, then reframe to what the buyer actually needs. A battlecard with no losses in it gets read once and never opened again.
Step 4
Each weakness you enter generates a neutral discovery question and a landmine phrased as evaluation advice rather than an attack. Then copy the markdown into wherever your team actually reads things.

FAQ
What belongs on a battlecard, how long it should be, and why the honest sections matter most.
A one-page internal reference that tells a salesperson how to handle a specific competitor in a live deal: how to position against them, what to say when they come up, which questions to ask early, and which claims to avoid. It is a script aid, not a research document.
One-line positioning, where you win with proof for each claim, where the competitor genuinely wins and how to respond, their verified weaknesses, discovery questions that surface those weaknesses, objection handling in the buyer's words, landmines phrased as evaluation criteria, and a do-not-say list. This tool generates all eight sections.
One page, or whatever a rep can scan in the ninety seconds before a call. If it runs to three pages it becomes a research document that nobody opens mid-deal. Move the supporting detail somewhere else and link to it.
Because reps meet those strengths in every deal, and a card that pretends they do not exist loses credibility the first time reality contradicts it. Naming a real strength and giving the rep an honest reframe is what stops them improvising something they cannot back up.
An evaluation criterion you plant early, framed as neutral advice, that a competitor will struggle to satisfy. Told well it sounds like help: ask any vendor how their cost changes as you add seats. Told badly it sounds like an attack, and the buyer discounts everything else you say.
Quarterly at minimum, and immediately after any competitor pricing or packaging change. The failure mode is not a missing card, it is a confident card that is six months stale. A rep who cites a bug the competitor fixed in the last release hands them the rebuttal.
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser with no account, and nothing you type is sent to Linkeddit, which matters given that battlecards contain your positioning. Keeping the intel behind the card current is what the paid Compete feature does.
