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
filestack-claude-plugin
Filestack is a file handling platform-as-a-service used by thousands of applications for uploads, cloud source ingestion (Google Drive, Dropbox, Instagram, and 14 more), on-the-fly image/video/document processing via CDN, and policy-based security. This plugin brings the full Filestack platform into Claude Code through 10 MCP tools (upload, retrieve, delete, store URL, build and apply CDN transformations, list available transforms, generate security policies, sign policies, generate signed URLs), 3 context-aware skills (SDK integration guidance, API error diagnosis, and webhook signature verification setup), and a natural language /filestack-transform slash command that converts plain English into Filestack CDN transformation URLs.
