It's an alternative, but provides no new functionality. The truth is while owned by Meta, Mapillary has the best street imagery coverage of all three street view platforms. I provided millions of images for all platform so far, but here's some feedback.
If I had to rank them:
Fortunately all three platforms are integrated into iD, so editors have the option to use whatever works and has coverage for the area.
I said something similar last time this was posted.

Mapilio: The map editor superhero. It helps users edit and enhance map data, and it's now teamed up with OpenStreetMap's iD Editor for seamless collaboration. Plus, it's powered by a UK-based nonprofit yet company.
Mapillary: A street-level imagery company owned by Meta (formerly Facebook). Different heroes, different backgrounds! ๐
@bysariipek @unsaid0415 @mapilio Pretty sure that Mapillary started that way too
What didn't work well about Mapillary? Asking since I'm new to this.
Totally valid point and worth considering for anybody getting into street-level image mapping.
