Where they're the same
ColorSlurp and Glaido both pick any pixel on your screen and copy its value, in hex, OKLCH and other formats you can paste straight into code.
Where ColorSlurp is ahead

Where Glaido is ahead
Glaido's Color Picker runs on Windows and Linux too, and it's free. Set a shortcut, or say "pick a color as RGB". Ask "convert #2563EB to HSL" or "what color is #2563EB?" without opening a window.
