Allatori vs Enigma Protector

Allatori is a Java obfuscator that works on compiled class files to protect intellectual property and make reverse engineering more difficult. It does not require original Java source code. Its features include name, control-flow and debug-information obfuscation, string encryption, watermarking and incremental obfuscation, along with a utility for stack traces and a module intended to disrupt decompilers. It supports J2EE, J2SE, J2ME and Android targets. Build options include a command-line interface, Apache Ant, Maven, Android Studio and an Eclipse plugin. Written in Java, it can technically run wherever a Java 1.4-or-later virtual machine is supported; the maker says it has been tested on Windows, Mac OS X and UNIX. The maker reports typical application size reductions of about 10–40%, sometimes up to 60% with many third-party libraries. String encryption can add 1–2% to bytecode size, while flow obfuscation can slightly increase size and rarely reduce performance. Native methods and their containing classes are not renamed automatically. A single developer license costs $290 as a one-time purchase; the free plan is also listed.

Enigma Protector is a licensing and protection system for developers distributing commercial software or shareware as Windows executable files. It supports most 32-bit and 64-bit executable formats, including EXE, DLL, OCX, BPL, and.NET files. Its code and data protection uses encryption and compression alongside obfuscation, mutation, and virtualization to make analysis and modification harder. Licensing can verify registration keys, bind licenses to hardware, or set limits by date, launch count, or usage duration. The Enigma API provides registration-key and trial-status checks and is described for use with languages including C++, Delphi, and Visual Basic. The Online Activation Panel can track orders and automate registration, activation, license-key generation, customer management, and subscriptions. Panel plans range from $24 a month for Light to $59 a month for Premium, with minimum initial payment covering six months. Protector Professional single-developer licenses are $249, paid once; company licenses are $499, paid once. A PHP/MySQL source-code edition for self-hosting costs $890, paid once for a single developer or $2,490, paid once for a company.
