Direct peers

• Digiato: Digiato is a major Iranian digital-economy and startup media outlet covering tech companies, investments, and policy. It is the closest direct peer to Peivast given its editorial focus on the digital economy, startups, and ICT management, and competes for the same executive and policy-maker readership.
• Zoomit: Zoomit is one of Iran's largest consumer tech news and review sites, covering smartphones, gadgets, software, and broader ICT trends. It directly competes with Peivast's daily news and tech-review coverage for the same Iranian tech-savvy audience, though it leans more consumer-product while Peivast emphasizes ICT strategy.
• ITiran (Iranian IT Magazine): ITiran is an Iranian IT industry news portal focused on enterprise IT, vendors, and channel players. It overlaps with Peivast's B2B/enterprise ICT coverage and competes for the same advertisers and IT professional audience in Iran.

Broad incumbents

• Computerworld: Computerworld is a long-running enterprise IT and technology management publication covering IT strategy, governance, and digital transformation. It overlaps with Peivast's IT governance and management focus and is a comparable model of a niche B2B ICT strategy outlet.
• MIT Technology Review: MIT Technology Review is a technology magazine focused on emerging technologies, AI, and digital transformation strategy. It is highly comparable in editorial positioning to Peivast's 'tech strategy for executives' focus, but operates at a global, English-language scale.
• TechCrunch: TechCrunch is a globally recognized technology and startup media outlet covering digital economy, startups, and venture capital. It is broadly comparable to Peivast's startup and digital-economy sections, but at a much larger international scale.
• Wired: Wired is a global technology magazine covering technology trends, business, and culture. It is comparable to Peivast as a science/technology-focused magazine with strategic/management framing, but operates globally at much larger scale.
• CNBC (Iran/regional edition): CNBC is a global business and technology news broadcaster that covers emerging-market digital economies, fintech, and ICT policy. It is a broad incumbent operating at much larger scale and competes with Peivast for international executive attention on Iran's ICT sector.

Emerging players

• Eghtesad News (Eghtesadonline): Eghtesadonline is a large Iranian business/economy news outlet that has expanded into digital-economy and fintech coverage. It is an emerging indirect competitor to Peivast's digital-economy and fintech sections, particularly for advertising and executive readership.
• Tabnak: Tabnak is a high-traffic Iranian news portal that covers politics, economy, and increasingly tech/digital economy topics. While broader in scope, it competes for ICT policy news readership and advertising with Peivast's digital-economy sections.
