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.

Only Rube has a remote endpoint we check. How we check endpoints
Tools each declares
The marketplaces of Rube publish no list of tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only Rube asks for
RUBE_API_KEY (secret)
Only io.github.wise-vision/mcp_server_ros_2 asks for
MCP_CUSTOM_PROMPTSMCP_PROMPTS_LOCALMCP_PROMPTS_MODULEMCP_PROMPTS_PATH
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
