point of difference

What sets apart

A point of difference is what distinguishes one thing from another—the feature or quality that sets it apart.

In marketing, it's the characteristic that makes a product stand out from competitors: Our point of difference is personalized customer service.

The phrase appears in comparisons generally: The main point of difference between the candidates is their stance on taxation.
