5 ways to use comparison table

Here are a few examples of how you can use comparison tables in a creative visual way.

1. Enhancing table design with colors and symbols

Use icons and colors to compare similarities, differences, strengths, and weaknesses.

In this example, you can see dairy being compared with other alternatives like soy, almond, and coconut milk. The green checks and purple x’s make a visually engaging, effective expression of the difference between the alternatives.

2. Comparing features and pricing

By adding pricing information, you can easily create a pricing comparison matrix. By shifting the color scheme or adding different accents you can easily highlight the preferred or most popular package.

3. Highlighting one column using a comparison table

Use a modern-looking 2-column comparison table to highlight differences between packages. Show your sales staff or even potential clients the benefits of your premium offering over the standard plan. This can be modified to add additional packages or offerings by adding additional columns.

4. Showing preferred solution

Comparison tables can also be beneficial when planning detailed solutions. Although checkmarks and x’s are highly effective ways to convey simple information, you may use text to provide more nuances and details.
