// In your component:

const channel = client.subscribe('my-channel');
channel.bind('my-event', (data: any) => console.log(data));Pusher leads on Trust Score with stronger signal data across downloads and community health. That said, the other tool is worth considering if your use case matches its specific strengths above.
