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
frugal
Before your agent signs up for a paid API, LLM model, cloud service, SaaS plan, domain or anything else that costs money, it checks free tiers, right-sized plans and billing periods, startup, student, open-source and nonprofit programs, verified promo codes and cheaper alternatives, sized to the amount at stake. It never pays by itself.
