In their own words
Binary Ninja
Binary Ninja is a binary analysis platform that combines an interactive decompiler, disassembler, and debugger. Its decompiler can produce C or BNIL for supported architectures, and users can switch between those outputs. The API provides C++, Python, and Rust bindings for automating workflows inside or outside the interface. A native debugger supports local and remote sessions on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Paid editions support plugins managed through an in-client Plugin Manager; plugins are not available in the Free edition. The browser-based Cloud version supports all architectures but requires submitted binaries and has performance limits, with no API or plugins. The free desktop edition is for evaluation or non-commercial use and lacks API access; the Free plan lists five decompilation architectures, while desktop details state four. Paid perpetual client licenses start at $199, paid once for Personal, with one year of updates and non-commercial use. Higher tiers add commercial use, more architectures, or remote project features. Binary Ninja is made by Vector 35.
