Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
DevHub CMS
DevHub CMS LLM integration through the Model Context Protocol.
liquid-dev
Liquid Dev gives Claude Code deep knowledge of Shopify's Liquid templating language, Online Store 2.0 theme architecture, and modern theme development workflows. It bundles a complete Liquid reference (objects, tags, filters, section schemas, metafields, dynamic sources, performance patterns), a theme development guide covering Shopify CLI, Dawn customization, settings schemas, and deployment — plus an opinionated Shopify developer agent that builds production themes with vanilla CSS/JS, merchant-friendly settings, and performance-first defaults. Built by a developer with 13+ years of Shopify experience who got tired of watching AI hallucinate Liquid syntax.
