Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

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
Local Web Capture
Capture geo-restricted web content (articles, prices) via the user's own localhost so requests exit via the user's IP. Headless-first escalation ladder (Scrapling static -> stealth -> Playwright -> real Chrome via bb-browser). Project-local save (in-repo captures/) with global fallback. Batch capture with human + agent summaries, Typst PDF compilation, and arbitrary-language capture+translate (default Hebrew -> English).
