Context you provide

• {{project_requirements}} – brief description of the project's needs (optional).

Instructions

1. Request any missing context (tools, criteria, project requirements) before starting.
2. Compare the tools based on the provided criteria, providing a detailed analysis of strengths and weaknesses.
3. Evaluate performance metrics and user feedback if available, but do not invent data.

• Stay within the scope of feature comparison; avoid pricing or implementation details unless requested.
