From the Proto-pasta HTPLA review: Prusament is the better plain PLA for accuracy straight off the plate; HTPLA is the only one of the two that survives an oven and keeps working near 100 °C.

How they differ on the data
Proto-pasta HTPLA runs 13°C hotter on the nozzle (window midpoints 223°C and 210°C), and the two windows share 15°C of range, so one profile can cover both. Proto-pasta HTPLA lists the wider window (35°C against 20°C). Both list the same 40-60°C bed window, so one profile covers both.
Proto-pasta HTPLA ships on a 0.5 kg spool and Prusament PLA on 1 kg, so compare price per kilogram rather than per spool.
