If you want to analyze/compare based on market cap

you are missing a very important component
that is the number of paying customers!

generally, you take XYZ company worth $100m
and divide it by it's 100k subscribers to get
a value per customer of $1,000.

this type of formula is commonly used to
compare the value of cableTV companies,
ISP, phone companies, and so forth.
Basically any cash flow per subscriber
business can be compared this way.

Now go back to the drawing board, and
take the companies you mentioned market
cap, and divide by the number of paying
subscribers. You will soon discover what
a rip off TRAC is in the double digits.
BTW, you can do it 2 ways, once on actual
subscription number, and a second one on
projected fulfillment numbers, that is
how many more subscribers does XYZ need
to get to be evenly compared to ABC it's
competitor. If XYZ is found to have this
shortfall, this second number indicates
the amount of investment needed for XYZ
to ever eclipse ABC's performance.
