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
Short.io
Access to Short.io's link shortener and analytics tools.
Organic LinkedIn presence, end to end, with LinkedIn's own rules enforced in code. Orchestrator (context: fork) gates every request against User Agreement §8.2 — refusing automation, scraping, engagement pods, bulk DMs, fake identity and fabricated proof, each with a compliant substitute — then routes to profile / strategy / content / engagement / analytics. Headline and whole-profile scoring with fixes ranked by points per hour; positioning brief with a mandatory exclusion list; cadence priced against real hours with a 90-minute floor; newsletter eligibility + six-month sustainability gate; post linter blocking on engagement bait and screen-reader-hostile Unicode pseudo-bold; repurposing with a reuse ledger; capped commenting roster and template-refusing outreach; analytics that test patterns against a seeded permutation null and refuse to conclude below 10 posts. 17 stdlib tools, 15 references with per-claim confidence levels. No credentials, no API calls, nothing auto-sent. Answers discussion #934.

Tools each declares
Neither one's marketplaces publish a list of tools, so there is nothing to compare.
