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
paddle
The Paddle plugin connects Claude Code to Paddle Billing, a merchant of record for SaaS, AI, mobile app, and digital product businesses. It provides step-by-step guidance for the most common Paddle integration tasks and wires up the Paddle docs MCP server so Claude pulls from up-to-date documentation as it works — helping you follow Paddle's recommended patterns for checkout, subscriptions, and webhooks instead of guessing from stale examples.
vercel
Vercel deployment platform integration. Manage deployments, check build status, access logs, configure domains, and control your frontend infrastructure directly from Claude Code.
