Pick Dolos if…
Dolos is suited to teachers checking source-code submissions, including tests, exams, and exercises where small-group collaboration is allowed. It can also suit users who want local analysis or to host the tool themselves.
Pick MOSS if…
MOSS may suit educators reviewing programming assignments and other users with non-commercial code-similarity needs. It requires a person to interpret results rather than treating similarity as a plagiarism decision.
