How does i2p compare to the Freenet project?

The setup and that it routes over several randomly chosen nodes to self-contained sites reminds of Freenet. How does i2p compare to it?

It's on the website. https://geti2p.net/en/comparison/freenet

I think they answer this better than I can.

Saw this earlier today and thought it was helpful understanding how it works from a high level. Nothing about Freenet though (: https://protonvpn.com/blog/what-is-i2p/

Freenet has a kind of shared network storage for websites that i2p doesn't have. To host a site on i2p you need a server.

This has pros and cons. On freenet you can only have static websites.
