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
slack
Slack workspace integration. Search messages, access channels, read threads, and stay connected with your team's communications while coding. Find relevant discussions and context quickly.
telegram-per-project
Telegram channel for Claude Code with per-project bot isolation. Each project gets its own Telegram bot, access policy, and message inbox — so messages to @alpha_bot reach Terminal 1 and messages to @beta_bot reach Terminal 2, with no cross-talk. Key features: - Per-project bot tokens via TELEGRAM_PROJECT_ID environment variable - Independent access policies per project, bootstrapped from global config - Response timeout — notifies senders when the assistant isn't responding (configurable, default 45s) - Full access control: DM pairing, allowlists, group mention detection - Reply, react, and edit_message tools for the assistant - Photo support with inline preview - Fully backward compatible — works as a single global bot if no project ID is set
