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
build-with-wordpress
Craft production-grade WordPress sites and applications. Everything from themes and plugins to commerce and deployment.
respira-for-wordpress
Edit live WordPress sites from inside Claude Cowork. Tell Claude what you want changed and Respira routes the edit to the right page builder, snapshots before writing, and validates that the page actually rendered correctly. Twelve page builders supported (Elementor, Divi 4, Divi 5, Bricks, Oxygen, Breakdance, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Flatsome, Brizy, Thrive Architect, Gutenberg). One-click rollback always available. No FTP. No database access. No REST plumbing. Built for the agency owners, designers, and freelancers who manage WordPress sites for clients and want to delegate the editing work to Claude without giving up control. Bundled: eight slash commands for the most common workflows, thirty auto-activating skills (including sixteen builder-to- builder migration paths), and one visual reviewer sub-agent that opens the live page after every edit so you can see what changed.
