Pick Apache RAT if…
Apache RAT suits teams reviewing software releases for license headers and approved-license issues, especially those using command-line, Ant, or Maven workflows. It is intended for on-premise deployment, and its reports require human interpretation.
Pick SourceTrust if…
SourceTrust suits teams that need to review dependencies and publish license compliance information for shipped products. Eligible public GitHub projects may qualify for its free publishing option; it is software tooling, not legal advice.
