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
flow
Flow turns Claude into a project partner who manages your backlog. Say "park this for later," and it queues the idea. Say "what's next?" and it finds the highest-priority ready item and offers to start, handling the bookkeeping so you stay in flow. It works as a lightweight scrum board with three ways to interact: talk to Claude conversationally, drag cards on the built-in Kanban board, or run multiple agents in parallel, each with filtered views. All three read and write the same backlog.json, no sync step, no drift. Lanes are fully configurable. Start with the default agile flow (Backlog → Refined → Ready → In Progress → Code Review → Done) or define your own columns and gate rules. The board, the API, and the agent all enforce them consistently. Conversational management: Add, reorder, refine, and complete items by talking naturally; no commands to memorize. Built-in Kanban board: Drag-and-drop web UI that syncs with the agent in real time; launch with one command. Multi-agent support: Leader agents assign
PlanExe
MCP server for generating rough-draft project plans from natural-language prompts.
