I've found them roughly equivalent in functionality, but for those who need specific features here's a link to a feature comparison table: https://beyondgrep.com/feature-comparison/

That table is quite out of date for ripgrep, which has added a number of features. See: https://github.com/beyondgrep/website/issues/97

Thanks for ripgrep, I use it daily and was recently going through the source code to learn how to build production quality Rust apps! (https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep)
