What both publish
| Fact | Binary Ninja | dnSpyEx |
|---|---|---|
| Debugging | The native debugger supports local and remote debugging on Windows, macOS and Linux. | It can debug .NET Framework, .NET, and Unity game assemblies, with breakpoints, tracepoints, conditional breakpoints, and multiple-process debugging. |
| Decompilation | Its decompiler emits C-like output and BNIL intermediate-language views for supported architectures. | The project lists C# and Visual Basic decompilers using the ILSpy decompiler engine, plus a BAML decompiler and disassembler. |
| Integrations | The purchase comparison lists Ghidra and IDB import, Ghidra export, and Sidekick capability; some Sidekick features require a separate purchase. | To debug Unity games, the project says the dnSpyEx Unity Mono repository is also needed. |
