CRACI vs Kusari

CRACI is a web service providing managed continuous-integration runners that capture software dependencies during builds and monitor them for vulnerabilities. It creates build-time SBOMs containing transitive dependencies and declared licenses, with CycloneDX and SPDX export formats. Monitored SBOMs are reevaluated as vulnerabilities emerge, and the service supports triage, fix routing, and VEX. GitHub Actions is the supported CI integration today; other CI systems are roadmap items. CRACI records packages from npm, PyPI, RubyGems, Cargo, Go, Nix, OCI registries, Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, and Git or other source downloads. Jobs use a prevalidated egress policy that fails closed, and policy gates can stop builds during execution. Managed runners are Linux on x86-64 and ARM64; Windows, macOS, and on-premises runners are planned. CRACI says source code is processed during builds but not stored, while build data is hosted in Europe. Its API returns SBOMs, network traces, and provenance, though the pricing FAQ says reports cannot be exported. Pro has no monthly fee and meters usage at $0.002 /vCPU-minute.

Kusari is a software supply chain security platform that maps components across repositories, images, and pipelines in an evolving knowledge graph called the Trust Fabric. It builds that graph from source and build artifacts and enriches each node. Its Kusari Score weighs technical severity alongside reachability, exploitability, blast radius, effort to fix, ownership, and license. The platform accepts source and build artifacts, CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs, VEX, and existing scanner output. Inspector reviews pull requests through GitHub, GitLab, or the CLI, returning a merge decision and a fix. Its checks cover vulnerabilities, transitive dependencies, secrets, typosquatted packages, licensing, unmaintained components, code weaknesses, and pipeline or image configuration. Reviews can include up to 2,000 dependency changes, with up to 1,000 high-priority changes examined in depth. Kusari lists integrations including GitHub, Jenkins, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. The free plan includes unlimited public repositories and one private repository; Starter Team is $50 a month, with a 30-day free period.
