Decato vs Wayfair for furnished-room workflows

FAQ
Is Wayfair really a competitor to Decato?

When would someone use Wayfair instead of Decato?
When they simply want to browse and buy furniture directly. If they need help turning a plan and brief into a coherent, measured, buyable room package, Decato covers that higher-level job.
