Choose Canopy if…
- You want first-draft architecture maps from GitHub repos
- You need spend, billing models, ownership, and status on nodes
- You export architecture context to agents (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, MCP)
- You want an operational map rather than an engineering docs workspace
Choose Eraser if…
- You want collaborative engineering docs next to diagrams
- You prefer an AI-friendly diagramming canvas
- Live co-editing is your priority
- You don't need spend or operational data
