Synth Studio
Synth Studio generates synthetic tabular datasets with mathematical privacy guarantees. It accepts CSV and JSON files and detects their schemas automatically. Generation options include CTGAN, TVAE, GaussianCopula and schema-based methods. Differential privacy settings can be configured with epsilon and delta, using RDP accounting. Quality tools assess statistical similarity, machine-learning utility and privacy leakage, while automatic PII detection identifies fields such as names, emails and SSNs before generation. The product provides compliance reporting for HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA and SOC-2, alongside audit logs and model cards. Synth Studio is open source and can be self-hosted or used through its cloud offering. Local installation documentation lists Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+ and Linux. The free plan is free for up to 1 million rows per generation under an MIT License. REST API integration is available, but direct API access currently requires a session cookie or trusted proxy headers; API keys are upcoming. Documented API limits include 1,000 authenticated requests per minute and five concurrent generation jobs.
