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.

Route requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Mistral with automatic failover, track spending in real-time, and manage team access with scoped API keys. Self-hosted, open source, and manageable directly from Claude Code with /styx:setup, /styx:status, and @styx-ops.
