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 Econdata has a remote endpoint we check. How we check endpoints
Tools each declares
Neither the marketplaces of signalslabs nor its endpoint list any tools, so we do not compare tools.
Settings each asks for
Only signalslabs asks for
SIGNALSLABS_API_KEY (secret)
Only Econdata asks for
PIPEWORX_API_KEY (secret)
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
