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
agent-media
Agent-Media is one connection for the complete media toolbox: upload and inspect references, generate or edit images, build storyboards and frames, generate video and voice, reuse characters, quote, track and compose results. Agents can combine generate_image, generate_video and generate_audio with their chosen model (seedance-2.0, seedance-2.5, gpt-image-2.5, gpt-image-2.5-flare, gpt-image-2, elevenlabs-tts), frames and references, or use make_ugc as an optional server-composed shortcut. Matching quote tools check cost before spending. Optional image upload panel: discover open_upload_panel and get_uploads for user photos, with a browser fallback and 24-hour expiry. One MCP URL, browser sign-in.
showtime
Local video studio for your coding agent: scenes, voice, music and captions, on your machine.
