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
membase
Membase connects Claude Code to Membase Cloud, giving Claude persistent memory and wiki workflows across coding sessions. It can recall relevant prior context before prompts, save durable project decisions and user preferences, and search stable wiki documents while you work. The plugin includes slash commands, MCP tools, project-aware recall, optional summary capture, and privacy safeguards for avoiding secrets, raw source files, and private blocks.
synaptic
Persistent local memory for Claude Code — cross-session context, semantic search, zero cloud
