Years behind Space X. It’d be interesting to see and compare costs between the two vehicles.

Boeing got a $4.5 Billion contract versus about $2.5 Billion for SpaceX yet SpaceX was 2 years earlier.
"For one, Boeing's vehicle is considerably more expensive. In 2019, the NASA inspector general estimated that NASA is paying $90 million for each Starliner seat while a seat on SpaceX's Crew Dragon costs $55 million."

Boeing’s effort is essentially a government operation so the costs are naturally a lot higher.

I’ll take Space X over Boing.
Hell , Musks rockets return and land upright. That should count for something.
