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
ix-memory
Ix Memory connects Claude Code to Ix, a structured, persistent memory backend for codebases. Instead of reading raw source files to answer questions about your code, Claude queries a live knowledge graph — dramatically reducing token usage, improving accuracy, and enabling reasoning that scales to large, complex projects. All analysis runs locally on your machine. No source code is ever transmitted to external servers.
