| Build integrations | Its command-line interface integrates with automated build scripts, and the product provides Apache Ant and Maven integration. | The vendor provides a basic Gradle plugin and documents calling Zelix KlassMaster through a generic Java API; newer Gradle versions may cause failures due to bytecode instrumentation. |
| Obfuscation features | The feature set includes name obfuscation, flow obfuscation, debug-info obfuscation, string encryption, watermarking, incremental obfuscation, stack-trace utility, build-tool interface, J2ME obfuscation and Android obfuscation. | Features include flow, exception, name, reference, method parameter, string, integer, and long obfuscation or encryption. |
| Runtime platforms | Allatori is written entirely in Java, technically runs on platforms supporting a 1.4+ virtual machine, and has been tested on Windows, Mac OS X and UNIX. | The vendor says the Java-based product should run on platforms with a Java 8 or later virtual machine and lists tested Windows, Linux, and macOS environments. |
| Size reduction | The company reports typical application size reductions of about 10–40%, sometimes reaching 60% with many third-party libraries. | Name obfuscation reduces package, class, field, and method name sizes, while Trim removes unused classes, fields, and methods. |
| Support | Paid licenses include free email support, updates and upgrades for 12 months. | Technical support directs users first to the FAQ and online documentation, then to email support with product version, JVM, operating system, and error details where applicable. |

In their own words
Allatori
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.
