# Differences between stations (sorted by deployment type)

> Comparison tables of ABBYY FlexiCapture station capabilities across Rich, Web HTML5, Remote, and ClickOnce deployments, from authentication to scripting.

ABBYY FlexiCapture Distributed stations can be deployed in several ways, with their [architecture set up](/flexi-capture/admin-guide/architecture-ag) to fit a customer’s specific needs. A station can run on a server or on a local machine, or be accessed remotely through a browser with no local installation. This section describes the functional differences between the stations, sorted by [deployment type](/flexi-capture/admin-guide/process).
