The difference is in the defaults; by default unless you explicitly ask to see the diffs of packages, it doesn't show them and proceed to install.

It's a subtle difference, but the devil's in the details especially when it comes to habits.yay asks me if I want to view the diffs every time I install or upgrade something, unless I choose `--noconfirm`. I don't recall having to configure anything to get this behavior.
I prefer Paru's defaults there, as it requires explicit dismissal to skip the review step. Reviewing PKGBUILDs should always be the default, and one of my biggest gripes with Arch derivatives is their habit of exposing inexperienced users to the AUR without informing users of the mandatory due diligence expected from them in order to safely use the AUR.
