OWASP Dependency-Track vs sbomify

OWASP Dependency-Track is a free, self-hosted platform for managing software-component risk across a supply chain. It builds inventories from software bills of materials and identifies vulnerable components, supporting CycloneDX SBOM, HBOM, VEX, and VDR documents for ingestion, analysis, and production. Components can be matched against NVD, GitHub Advisories, OSV, OSS Index, Snyk, Trivy, and VulnDB, while integrated EPSS support helps prioritize mitigation. Integrity checks flag components when published hashes differ from those served by an upstream registry. A Common Expression Language policy engine evaluates component rules and can break a build when a policy fails. Alerts can be filtered by event fields and sent to Slack, Teams, Mattermost, email, or webhooks. API and web interfaces are available, with least-privilege portfolio access and single sign-on through OpenID Connect, Active Directory, and LDAP. Version 5.1 uses separate API and frontend container images, supports Kubernetes, and requires PostgreSQL.

sbomify is a security artifact hub for generating, managing, analyzing and sharing software bills of materials (SBOMs) and compliance documents. It supports CycloneDX and SPDX, with generation workflows for 17 ecosystems, container images, directory scans and Yocto/OpenEmbedded builds. For CI/CD, its Action supports GitHub, while documented Docker workflows cover GitLab, Bitbucket and other systems. Vulnerability analysis integrations include Google OSV and OWASP Dependency-Track. Trust Centers let teams share security materials through a custom domain, with public or private access. Supported materials include SBOMs, VEX and CBOM artifacts, security certifications, penetration test reports and compliance attestations. Trust Center content is also available programmatically through the Transparency Exchange API. The open-source platform can be self-hosted or used as a hosted service. The free Community plan limits accounts to one product, five components, public documents and one user. Business costs $159/mo (annual); Enterprise pricing is by custom quote.
