| Languages | Language support is provided through Jupyter kernels, allowing Python, R, Julia and other languages to run through the same interface. | Users can write and run Python, HTML, Java, and other code in the browser. |
| Privacy | Project Jupyter says its software normally contains no tracking code and self-hosted installations send no usage information to Jupyter developers; telemetry is opt-in. | The site says it does not sell personal information, show ads, or load third-party analytics or session recording. |
| Purpose | JupyterLab is a web-based interactive development environment for notebooks, code, and data. | Trinket is a browser-based coding platform designed for classroom use. |
| Security | JavaScript and HTML outputs in notebooks created on other machines are sanitized and not displayed until the notebook is trusted. | The site uses HTTPS and stores passwords as salted hashes rather than plain text. |
| Self-hosting | JupyterLab is installed and launched locally with the `jupyter lab` command, so organizations can operate it on their own computers or servers. | The open source project can be read, contributed to, or run as an independent copy. |

In their own words
JupyterLab
JupyterLab is a web-based environment for interactive work with notebooks, code and data. Its workspace brings notebooks, text editors, terminals and custom components together in tabs and splitters. Code consoles act as scratchpads, and kernel-backed documents can run code in files such as Markdown, Python, R and LaTeX. It supports the .ipynb format used by classic Jupyter Notebook, and can view and edit formats including Markdown, images, CSV, JSON, HTML, LaTeX and PDF. Visualization libraries include matplotlib and Plotly; interactive plots or widgets may require additional packages. Extensions can add themes, viewers, editors, output renderers and interface controls, but can execute code in the browser, server and kernel, so only trusted extensions are advised. Real-time collaboration can be enabled with jupyter_collaboration. JavaScript and HTML outputs from notebooks created elsewhere remain hidden until the notebook is trusted. JupyterLab is free, open-source software under a modified BSD license, installed with pip or via a Homebrew command for macOS and Linux. It runs on Linux, macOS, the web and self-hosted systems.
