This means “in order to provide a contrast“ or “meant to serve as a contrast“

by way of means в качестве

"They spent millions of dollars on advertising. By way of contrast, our small company spent under 5,000 dollars."

Сюда "в качестве" никак не вписывается.

“In order to give you a contrast so that you can appreciate the implications of this more clearly, our company...”

“To function as a contrast and illustrate more clearly what this implies, our company...”

 “As a contrasting example to clarify the implications herein, our company…”

Ну, не знаю
Могу предложить "в качестве сравнения" (что близко к "по сравнению с"), но для "в отличие от" такого короткого аналога придумать не могу.
