When to use it
- deals
- platform bargains
- policy tradeoffs
- one-sided exchanges
How a brand uses this
Use this TikTok-native format to expose hilariously lopsided transactions in tech: the absurd price of free tools, what companies actually get from third-party vendor contracts, or the raw deal an engineer gets in a standard sprint.
Steal these starting points:
- we get: Full root access to production / you get: One shiny dashboard
- we get: 45 minutes of your afternoon / you get: Zero action items
- we get: Your credit card upfront / you get: A 14-day trial that breaks
When NOT to use it
- When the joke is just a recap; the format needs a stance or turn
- Using the template as two headline labels instead of creating the native comic turn
Example captions
- i receive: trial of the century / you receive: one missed deadline
- We get: doing it the old way / You get: the obviously better way
- We get: what we planned / You get: what shipped
