Pick ClearlyDefined if…
ClearlyDefined suits developers, compliance teams, and open source communities that need licensing and related component data. Its web, API, and self-hosted access support both browsing and integration.
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.
