When to use which?

24 Pull Requests is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. 24 Pull Requests works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. 24 Pull Requests supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
