comparable
In the same league
Comparable means able to be compared—similar enough that comparison makes sense.
Two things are comparable when they share enough features to be measured against each other: comparable salaries, comparable quality.
The stress falls on the first syllable (COMparable) in standard usage, though second-syllable stress (comPARable) is increasingly common.
The two candidates have comparable experience.
