Hi Animesh! The biggest difference would be that TD answers both "who should I sponsor AND how much?". It continually calculates the weight of each dependency in your codebase and distributes your monthly budget accordingly.

The next biggest difference is that it distributes micro-payments up to 3 levels deep into the dependency tree. We've noticed majority of people sponsor the top of mind projects, but the deep nested dependencies don't get any love. This automated approach should fix that.

Don't hesitate to ping me if you have any other questions please (email in profile).

Thank you for the clarification. I will consider it in a near future.
