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
token-wise
A Claude Code plugin that routes text-heavy tasks to the right Claude model — saving tokens without sacrificing quality. Why Planning, CLAUDE.md generation, README writing, and PRDs don't need Opus when you're just structuring content. token-wise intercepts these tasks and runs them on Sonnet or Haiku instead, switching back to your session model automatically when done.
Overleaf
Overleaf MCP server for Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, and Cursor with safe LaTeX editing and review.
