Exodos Labs vs ReARM

Exodos Labs manages, shares, and operationalizes software bills of materials (SBOMs) across the software supply chain. It ingests SBOMs from CI/CD pipelines, APIs, and suppliers, tracks them across builds, releases, and products, and applies validation and quality gates. Scans assess vulnerabilities, FOSS license and compliance issues, component health, and geopolitical supply-chain risks. The Community plan supports CycloneDX and SPDX formats. Secure Exchange provides access controls by organization, role, purpose, or time, alongside redaction, request workflows, and audit logs. Integrations include Cloudsmith, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, custom build systems, vulnerability scanners, SIEM platforms, and risk management systems. Deployment options listed are cloud-hosted, private, and hybrid. Community costs nothing and includes one user and one API key. Team costs $29 a month, on annual contracts billed yearly; Professional costs $1,240 a month on annual contracts billed yearly. The platform is aimed at security, compliance, and engineering teams, including organizations in regulated environments.

ReARM is a release governance platform for organizing software composition, security findings, approvals, and evidence around what ships. It versions SBOMs and XBOMs by product, component, and release, with dependency comparisons across versions and search across a portfolio. Releases can retain HBOMs, VEX, VDR, BOV, SARIF, signatures, attestations, and build metadata for 10+ years. Reliza BEAR adds supplier, copyright, and license metadata to SBOMs. ReARM gathers vulnerabilities, weaknesses, policy violations, and license violations from Dependency-Track and other tools for triage and audit. Release policies can check releases automatically and support manual or automated approvals, recording approver identity, timestamp, and an evidence snapshot in an immutable audit trail. It connects with tools including GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Sentinel, and Dependency-Track. ReARM Community Edition is self-hosted under AGPL 3.0 and can store and version BOMs without Dependency-Track; vulnerability scanning and policy findings require Dependency-Track or imported VDR files. External deployments require TLS. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $195/mo, and a 60-day trial is listed.
