A Hoverify alternative

What Hoverify does well, where PikSpec differs, and how to choose. We make PikSpec, so we have kept this to what each tool's own listing says.

In short: PikSpec is a free Chrome extension that covers what most people use Hoverify for and adds a full design system view (fonts, colours, spacing, radius and shadows) with exports as design tokens, a DESIGN.md and AI Kits. If you want many small developer utilities (responsive viewer, debugging tools, asset grabber) in one paid extension, Hoverify bundles them.
