How to choose between Exome and HeroUI

Both Exome and HeroUI sit in Components, so running both usually means paying twice for the same job. The better question isn't which tool wins in the abstract — it's which one fits the stack you already run. Newtools keeps a live picture of your stack, spend, and decisions, then recommends the tool that fits and flags the spend you could cut.
