How does its startup time compare to other launchers (rofi or tofi for example)
I never actually measured it, but I switched to fuzzel from wofi, and I can’t tell the difference in reaction time. To me it feels instant.
I’ve tested them all and they all launch fairly immediately.
I discuss some of the other feature differences here:

I think for most people, Fuzzel will be the best choice, but compeitors offer unique features like Rofi-compatibility, HTML formatting support or the most important one: being written in Rust.
I’m a huge fan of fuzzel - can’t compliment it enough.
Love fuzzel—it’s pretty performant, even with a few thousand options to pick from.
Fuzzel is great. I only wish it had a pinentry option.
I should have read the article first – passphrases and pinentry are here
That’s right! We are just waiting for someone to focus a pinentry/fuzzel script now. All the necessary features are there it seems.
The script is there in the post, but I haven’t tried it yet. It would be nice if fuzzel had a message option, like rofi, so that key information could be displayed in the passphrases request; that s is what pinentry-rofi uses.
There is a newish “placeholder text” option. It could be displayed there and disappear when typing starts.
Yes. The message could be added to the prompt but it wouldn’t look the best.
I’m still on bemenu since I used dmenu with dwm on X. I should probably check the others out.
noice! I just switched to using Fuzzel yesterday.
It looks like I have a great place to land if fzf ever starts to make my life difficult. Thank you!
fzf has some unique features of its own, like multi-select. Maybe one day Fuzzel will add that.
