| Fact | cargo-bundle | Tauri Bundler |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Projects configure bundle metadata in a `[package.metadata.bundle]` section of Cargo.toml, including fields such as name, icon, description, and copyright. | Tauri can load bundler settings from the bundle object in tauri.conf.json, while the library can also be used by non-Tauri apps. |
| Purpose | cargo-bundle generates installers or app bundles for GUI executables built with Cargo. | Tauri Bundler wraps Rust executables in OS-specific app bundles and is used as a library by the Tauri CLI. |
| Signing | The README describes optional Apple bundle and DMG signing, optional Windows Authenticode signing, and configurable keyless Sigstore signing for Linux artifacts. | Tauri says code signing digitally signs application executables and bundles to validate the provider's identity, and is required on most platforms. |

cargo-bundle is for developers building GUI executables with Cargo who need application bundles or installers for listed desktop targets. Its experimental support and early-alpha status make it important to check target and packaging requirements first.
Tauri Bundler suits developers packaging applications for desktop and mobile distribution routes. Its frontend support and static-host limitation are relevant when selecting a build approach.
