For me it’s Branding and the storytelling.

A polished product can make it that much better. Sure, an unpolished and polished app can both deliver the same functionality, but those little extra features, such as animations in apps, or site speed on websites, can set it apart from the competitors

A great product not only solves problems effectively but also creates an emotional connection with its users through exceptional design and memorable experiences.
A great product goes beyond functionality and features, evoking an emotional connection that transforms users into loyal advocates.
Several factors can differentiate a good product from a great one:
1. User Experience: A great product not only meets but exceeds user expectations in terms of usability, intuitiveness, and satisfaction.
2. Innovation: Great products often introduce novel features or solutions that address existing problems in unique ways.
3. Quality and Reliability: Consistent performance and durability enhance the product's reputation and user trust.
4. Customer Support: Excellent customer service and support can significantly enhance the overall user experience.
5. Scalability: A great product has the potential to scale effectively to meet increasing demand without compromising quality.
6. Feedback and Iteration: Continuous improvement based on user feedback ensures the product evolves to meet changing needs and preferences.
7. Value Proposition: Clearly communicates and delivers substantial value that resonates with the target audience.
8. Brand Reputation : A great product often enhances the overall reputation and credibility of the brand.
9. Market Fit : Aligning well with the needs and desires of the target market ensures sustained relevance and success.
10. Longevity : Products that stand the test of time and maintain relevance over the long term are often considered great.

For me, a great product stands out due to:

Innovation: Offers something unique or significantly better than alternatives.
Branding and Storytelling: Builds a strong emotional connection with users.
Continuous Improvement: Regularly updates and improves based on user feedback.

Good products solve problems that people want. Great products solve problems that people never knew they needed but get addicted to it once they use it

It's all the 1000 little details.
A good product does something right, but then small details kind of suck (maybe customer service, or some design, or the email communication, etc...)
I love this video where Larry Ellison talks about what made Steve Jobs great. The basic gist is he cared about every little detail (what the product looked like, the packaging, your experience at the store, and so on).
Whereas most good products will solve a problem (hopefully) better than the alternatives, a great product will get every excruciating little detail right. Look at products from Apple, Stripe, Tesla, etc...
I believe products that demonstrate continuous improvements and consumer adoption in the ever-changing markets are the great ones.

Ease of use 10/10 times. If it feels intuitive that is a huge win.
Quality and consistency in performance make a product not just good but truly great.
Innovation and unique features often set a great product apart from a good one.
A great product stands out due to its exceptional user experience and strong customer support.
A good product is okay and meets basic needs, but a great product is one that makes you feel “wow” every time you use it. Usually, great products have cool features, cool designs, or innovations that make life easier or more exciting. So, the difference is clear: a great product can make you feel more satisfied and emotionally connected, while the good ones just meet expectations.
