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
consensus
Break through difficult problems by gathering diverse AI perspectives in parallel. Consensus queries multiple AI providers concurrently — GPT-5.2, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and DeepSeek V3.2 by default — then synthesizes their responses to surface agreements, unique insights, and actionable takeaways. Choose from any model available on OpenRouter, or route providers directly through their native APIs (OpenAI, Gemini). Add, remove, and configure providers interactively with natural language.
