Ipompo yokulinganisa ikwabizwa ngokuba yipompo yokulinganisa okanye ipompo elinganayo. Ipompo yokulinganisa yipompo ekhethekileyo yokufuduka enokuthi ihlangabezane neemfuno zeenkqubo ezahlukeneyo zobuchwepheshe obuqinileyo, inesantya sokuhamba esinokulungiswa rhoqo ngaphakathi koluhlu lwe-0–100% kwaye isetyenziselwa ukuhambisa ulwelo (ingakumbi ulwelo olubolayo)
Ipompo yokumitha luhlobo loomatshini bokuhambisa ulwelo kwaye uphawu lwayo olubalaseleyo kukuba inokugcina ukuhamba rhoqo nokuba uxinzelelo lokukhupha lungakanani na. Ngepompo yokumitha, imisebenzi yokuhambisa, ukulinganisa kunye nokulungelelanisa inokugqitywa ngaxeshanye kwaye ngenxa yoko, inkqubo yemveliso inokwenziwa lula. Ngeempompo ezininzi zokumitha, iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zemidiya zinokufakwa kwinkqubo yetekhnoloji ngomlinganiselo ochanekileyo kwaye emva koko zixutywe.
