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
next-task
Autonomous workflow orchestrator that takes a task from discovery to production through 12 coordinated phases — exploration, planning, implementation, multi-agent review, and shipping. Pick a task from GitHub/GitLab/local sources, approve a plan, and the rest runs autonomously: git worktree creation, code generation, deslop, agnix, audit-project review loop, sync-docs, gate-and-ship. Two-file state management lets you `--resume` from any phase across session boundaries. 8 specialist agents with model selection (opus for exploration/planning, sonnet for review/CI, haiku for mechanical execution) keep token costs predictable. Workflow enforcement gates prevent skipping reviews or tests.
taskforge-pro
Unified Project Manager. PM automation + 100 domain expert harnesses + goal-backward validation.
