DejaCode vs FossID Workbench

DejaCode is an enterprise application for managing open-source license compliance and software supply-chain integrity across products and teams. It tracks open-source and third-party components, with unlimited products, components, and packages in each plan. Teams can store and manage SBOMs, retain historical records for audits, and import CycloneDX, SPDX, or AboutFile formats. Usage policies can be set at license or package level and linked with ScanCode; enforcement is advisory. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Jira Cloud, SourceHut, and Forgejo, with REST API and webhook options for other services. AboutCode connections include ScanCode.io for package scanning, PurlDB, and VulnerableCode for vulnerability data. Deployment documentation covers Docker, enterprise, and local development setups. For enterprise deployments, the guidance recommends running your own related service instances to avoid sending sensitive or private data to public endpoints. Team starts at $500 a month and Business at $1,500 a month, each billed annually at the start of the subscription period. Enterprise pricing is custom and not listed. A private evaluation instance with all features and support is available for 30 days.

FossID Workbench is a software composition analysis tool for identifying and governing third-party software in codebases. It analyzes direct and transitive dependencies, scans unmanaged source code across programming languages, and detects embedded open-source snippets, including modified code. ID Assist proposes component identifications, while License Extractor extracts file-level license text. Vulnerable Snippet Finder locates code blocks linked to CVEs, with VEX data adding exploitability context. Workbench creates, imports, consolidates, and exports software bills of materials with component, license, vulnerability, and usage information in SPDX or CycloneDX formats. Policy Management can enforce license, security, and usage rules across projects. GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket imports are supported, alongside CI/CD scanning, gating, pull-request notifications, and API workflows. Deployment options include cloud, hybrid, on-premises, and offline air-gapped setups. It supports many ecosystems, including JavaScript, Java/Kotlin, Python, Rust, Go, C/C++, .NET, and others. Pricing is available on request.
