Taurus keeps firmly abreast of the trends by releasing it's optic-ready sub-compact 9MM. We didn't include the Taurus G3c T.O.R.O. in the Ruger/SA cheat sheet because it's not in the same compactness and low-weight camp as either of those sub-compact pistols. It's primary advantage over the all-American brands is it's price point - it's simply more affordable for those of us who need to save up our lunch money every time we want to make a firearm purchase. Despite being a little heavier, larger and thicker than the MAX-9/Hellcat, it's loaded up with most of the same features: optic ready, manual safety, 10 or 12 rounds (depending on your State laws), accessory rail (Ruger doesn't have this), loaded chamber indicator (the others have an inspection port), re-strike capability and steel alloy slide over a polymer frame. They ice the cake by giving you three mags in the box versus the two mags provided by Ruger and SA. Both Ruger and Taurus might benefit by offering a threaded barrel version, or an adapter that provides threading as used by Ruger's SR22. But all that aside, Taurus' extra heft and dimensions will provide a more secure grip for larger-handed folks looking for an optic-ready micro-9 pistol and the G3 line has garnered favorable reviews from most who've test driven it. This from the Taurus WEBSITE:

Given the growing penchant for shooters to include micro red dots on their semi-autos—be it for personal defense, recreational shooting, or competition work—Taurus brings the G3 series pistols into the optic arena for 2021 with the release of the full-size G3 T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optic Ready Option). The slides for the T.O.R.O. series feature a factory optic cut so that consumers can immediately add their choice of micro red dot without the expense of custom gunsmith work or "downtime" of their handgun. What's more, the T.O.R.O. system's design accommodates a broad range of popular optics on the market today, thanks to an ingenious interchangeable plate mounting system.. The new Taurus G3c builds on the proven foundation that has made the compact G-series among the most popular personal defense/EDC handguns ever while advancing function, reliability, and durability to the next level. Furthermore, the G3c enters the market at a price point that continues the Taurus G-series handguns' industry leading cost-to-performance ratio. All the features of the original striker-fired full-size. Now available in an EDC-friendly compact frame. The all-new Taurus® G3c delivers the ultimate balance of power and performance for any self-defense situation.

Ruger is the always at the tip of the spear. They embody what it means to be on the cutting edge. They don't hesitate for a second to follow the fickle desires of American gun buyers and deliver exactly what consumers are looking for - at an economy price - in their next purchase. And all this equates to market relevancy and optimization: by being inherently responsive they have generated enough revenue over the years to be able to rollout exactly what's needed at a moment's notice (or, realistically I suppose, over a few months) by bringing in-house the latest manufacturing technologies to keep abreast of market trends. It's impressive, and great for consumers if not always for the competition. Right on the heals of SA's Hellcat RDP, Ruger slides out the MAX-9 for $100 less. Plus Ruger's recommended mini reflex sight (the Sightmark Mini Shot A-Spec) is a whole $130 cheaper than SA's Hex Wasp: therefore a Max-9/Sightmark combo MSRP's for $568 v's SA's Hellcat RDP at $899. Big difference. Okay so you don't get the self-indexing compensator offered with the Hellcat, and Ruger offers one less round in their mags, but the $330 saved would buy you a lot of ammo (if there was any to buy, that is). All that nonsense aside, the proof is in the shootin' so let's keep an eye on the plethora of Yootoob videos already available for your watching pleasure. This from the Ruger WEBSITE:

The MAX-9™ is your next handgun. Whether you're new to firearms ownership, or you've been an enthusiast for years, the versatile MAX-9™ is sure to meet your personal protection needs. Comfortable enough to conceal in an inside the waistband holster or pocket holster, this micro-sized pistol has it all - without compromising on capacity or features. Rugged, reliable, affordable - the Ruger® MAX-9™.

Here's a cheat sheet comparing the Max-9 and the Hellcat:

For instant target acquisition the Hellcat RDP is outfitted with the all new HEX Wasp, a low profile, micro red dot that co-witnesses with the Hellcat’s U-Dot sights. The Hellcat RDP also features a threaded barrel fitted with a patent-pending, Self Indexing compensator. Made of strong and lightweight aircraft-grade Hardcoat anodized aluminum the proprietary design reduces muzzle rise and keeps you on target, shot after shot.

Tame muzzle rise with the patent pending Springfield Armory Self Indexing Compensator made of aircraft-grade Hardcoat anodized aluminum. This compensator vents gasses upward putting downward pressure on the muzzle greatly reducing muzzle rise for better control and faster follow up shots.​

The Hellcat RDP features a compact and capable compensator that maximizes rapid fire muzzle control. Machined from 8082 aluminum and anodized matte black, the compensator has a patent-pending Self Indexing design that makes installation or removal easy and does not require shims or additional parts for proper timing.

Included with the Hellcat RDP is the all new HEX™ Wasp™ — a micro-sized red dot optic designed to pair perfectly with the Hellcat. Optimized for direct, low-mounting the Wasp presents intuitively and co-witnesses with the Hellcat’s irons. A $299 value, the Wasp features a premium glass lens, a tough machined 6061 aluminum body and 65,000 hours of battery life. HEX is a special project by Springfield Armory, visit hexoptics.com for full specifications.

The Hellcat RDP introduces the new Gen 2 Trigger. Recontoured for enhanced ergonomics, the Gen 2 trigger offers a more comfortable shooting experience and is a refinement of the most important interface between the pistol and the shooter.

The Hellcat RDP is available with an optional ambidextrous manual safety on the frame of the pistol. It is a low-profile, unobtrusive design that features positive engagement and is simple and easy to operate both left or right-handed.

This new ultra small reflex sight from Springfield Armory's optics company, HEX, is ideally suited for your MOS pistol due to reduced profile and perpetual "ON" mode. It's also more affordable for the majority of us who have inherent household budgets. Batteries included. This from the HEX website:

Designed for low-profile, direct mounting, the HEX™ Wasp™ is perfectly suited for compact applications like today's concealed carry pistols and offset rifle mounting. The Wasp is always powered and features an auto-dimming sensor which regulates proper dot brightness based on ever changing ambient light conditions. Precision machined from 6061 T6 Hardcoat anodized aluminum and outfitted with a scratch resistant, anti-glare glass lens, the HEX Wasp is a rugged, reliable companion for your optics ready everyday carry.
