| Privacy | The CLI has no telemetry or default outbound traffic; enrichment calls are opt-in and go directly from the user's machine to public APIs. | The package documentation says database requests contain only module paths for vulnerabilities already known to the database, not code or other properties of the program. |
| Purpose | Bomly scans source trees, SBOMs, Git refs, and container images to build dependency graphs and explain why packages are present. | Govulncheck reports known vulnerabilities that affect Go code. |
| Support | The project directs users to GitHub issues for bugs, discussions for questions and feedback, and its repository security policy for security reports. | The Go docs direct govulncheck issues and feedback to the Go issue tracker. |
