+A Capacitor plugin that lets you receive accurate geolocation updates even while the app is backgrounded.
 It has a web API to facilitate for a similar usage, but background geolocation is not supported in a regular browser, only in an app environment.
 
 ## This plugin's history
 
-Interestingly enough, this plugin has a lot of history. The initial solution from [Transistorsoft](https://github.com/transistorsoft) was a great piece of software, and I encourage using it if it fits your needs.  
+Interestingly enough, this plugin has a lot of history. The initial solution from [Transistorsoft](https://github.com/transistorsoft) was a great piece of software, and I ([HarelM](https://github.com/HarelM)) encourage using it if it fits your needs.  
 I tried it and understood that it prioritizes battery life over accuracy, which wasn't the right fit for my hiking app.  
 There was a very good fork maintained by **mauron85** specifically for that use case, and I was happy to help maintain it.  
 But at some point, **mauron85** stopped responding to messages on GitHub, and no one could continue maintaining it.

+## Plugin comparison
+
+A short comparison between the three main background-geolocation plugins commonly used in Capacitor apps.
+
+| Plugin | Accuracy | Background | HTTP Upload | Pricing |
+|--------|----------|------------|-------------|---------|
+| `@capacitor-community/background-geolocation` (Community) | Not accurate | Yes | No | Free |
+| `@capgo/background-geolocation` (this plugin) | Accurate | Yes | No | Free |
+| Transistorsoft (original) | Accurate | Yes | Yes — built-in HTTP uploader to your API | Paid |
+
+Notes:
+- The Community plugin is lightweight and continues to work in the background, but it is known to be less accurate than the options below.
+- This Cap-go plugin aims to provide accurate location fixes and reliable background operation without requiring a paid license.
+- Transistorsoft's plugin is a mature, accurate solution that also includes an HTTP uploader (it can send location updates to your API). It is a commercial product and requires a paid license for full use.
