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
prompt-squeeze
prompt-squeeze builds prompt-cost discipline into Claude Code via three surfaces: /squeeze skill that compresses a verbose prompt into a token-efficient equivalent and renders a side-by-side markdown comparison plus a cited receipt (dollars saved, Wh saved, CO₂e at US-grid average). UserPromptSubmit hook that meters every prompt, nudges Claude when ≥25% compressible, and (in interactive mode) blocks prompts above a configurable token limit while showing a 2-column ASCII diff so the user can review before sending. An MCP server exposing personal_stats, team_stats, and weekly_report tools that aggregate the local hook log into shareable rollups.
claude-lean
Automatic token measurement, cost analysis, and CLAUDE.md optimization for Claude Code sessions. Uses tiktoken (cl100k_base) for accurate token counting, detects bloated config files on session start via hooks, and proactively optimizes to reduce costs. Includes before/after benchmarking with per-model cost comparison.
