Pick Apktool if…

Apktool suits people who need to inspect or modify Android APK resources from Windows, Linux, or macOS. It is less suitable for work that depends on Android-device support or preserving newer APK signatures.

Pick Binary Ninja if…

Binary Ninja suits people who need interactive binary analysis, decompilation, or local and remote debugging. The free desktop option is limited to evaluation or education, while commercial-use licenses are listed separately.
