    The features are what the product does and a benefit is why the product is useful.

    Features are what a product can be used for, a benefit is how a product can help you and be as useful as possible.

    The main difference between features and benefits is what they represent for and how the viewer becomes drawn to them. Features are a product or service's distinctive characteristics or traits. Benefits is the advantages or values that a customer receives from the product or service.

    Features are what the product offers and comes with, while benefits are the useful ways it can be used.

    The main difference between benefits and features is how they relate to prospective customers. A feature is a component of the product/service that could lead the customer to a benefit, while a benefit is something that your product/service will deliver for them. They coincide with each other but are different.

    Benefits are what gives back to the customer in regards to having the product or service. A feature is just a quality of sorts that the product or service has.
