Browserify vs Browserify-CDN: What are the differences?

Browserify: Browser-side require() the node.js way. Browserify lets you require('modules') in the browser by bundling up all of your dependencies; Browserify-CDN: Browserify as a service. Browsers don't have the require method defined, but Node.js does. With Browserify you can write code that uses require in the same way that you would use it in Node.

Browserify and Browserify-CDN can be primarily classified as "Front End Package Manager" tools.

Browserify and Browserify-CDN are both open source tools. It seems that Browserify with 12.8K GitHub stars and 1.12K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Browserify-CDN with 557 GitHub stars and 74 GitHub forks.

        What are some alternatives to Browserify and Browserify-CDN?
        Bower
        Bower is a package manager for the web. It offers a generic, unopinionated solution to the problem of front-end package management, while exposing the package dependency model via an API that can be consumed by a more opinionated build stack. There are no system wide dependencies, no dependencies are shared between different apps, and the dependency tree is flat.
        Webpack
        A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows to load parts for the application on demand. Through "loaders" modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
        Babel
        Babel will turn your ES6+ code into ES5 friendly code, so you can start using it right now without waiting for browser support.
        rollup
        It is a module bundler for JavaScript which compiles small pieces of code into something larger and more complex, such as a library or application. It uses the new standardized format for code modules included in the ES6 revision of JavaScript, instead of previous idiosyncratic solutions such as CommonJS and AMD.
        RequireJS
        RequireJS loads plain JavaScript files as well as more defined modules. It is optimized for in-browser use, including in a Web Worker, but it can be used in other JavaScript environments, like Rhino and Node. It implements the Asynchronous Module API. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code.
