Why the edge:
- Maintenance & community, FLORA +45: FLORA 83 (Closed service with a dated changelog.); Recraft API 38 (V4.1 Flash released in September 2026, dated only by month, so it counts from September and is now more than 30 days old (20, from 30, cause time).)

- Schema & documentation, FLORA +15: FLORA 79 (Platform with an MCP server and an API, read with the API and MCP lines.); Recraft API 64 (A Swagger UI at external.api.recraft.ai/doc, but no spec file we could fetch (15).)
- Payments & pricing, FLORA +8: FLORA 53 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0).); Recraft API 45 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0).)
