Compare their popularity move database.
Consider two weight-lifting gyms: one with free weights and one with fixed weights. The type of gym does not reveal how strong, experienced, or skilled the members are.
One way to see this in chess is to find a player who competes on both sites and compare their standings or the distribution graphs of the sites. If a player ranks in the bottom third on one site but in the top third on the other, the reality becomes clear: the site with the lower ranking has the tougher competition.
Performance can depend on context. Consider how someone rides a trail bike for leisure versus driving a car in a controlled environment. Similarly, a player may take paid tournaments more seriously than casual, unpaid ones. This does not mean the player is better or weaker on one site compared to the other.
Some players play chess on lichess and chess.com
This is useful ...

Once you found a player, you have to find a tournament they played in on both sites. Then compare their standings in the tournament. You might need to do a percentage standings, because there will not be the same amount of players in the tournament.
I am now unsubscribing from this forum subject, because all the posts are biased.
Lichess.org is better than Chess.com
