GitOps Code Report vs
OWASP Dependency-Track
Both surface dependency risk, but they start at different points. Code Report runs Trivy, Syft and Gitleaks against your repository; Dependency-Track ingests CycloneDX SBOMs and continuously monitors a software portfolio.
Flat pricing by company size
Every plan includes Vault, Code Report and State IaC. No per-identity charges, and server tokens do not move you into a higher tier.

Free software, different operating models
Dependency-Track has no license fee, but production requires running its services and PostgreSQL. GitOps offers managed Cloud plans, while GitOps Self-Hosted is also completely free.
Dependency-Track v5 uses PostgreSQL and separate application services. Official v4 guidance lists at least 2 CPU cores and 2 GB RAM for the API server, with 4 cores and 8 GB recommended, plus the frontend and database.

Choose Code Report for repository-native scanning
Run vulnerability, license, SBOM and secret scanners together, then keep results connected to the service and Git revision that produced them.
Choose Dependency-Track for SBOM operations
Maintain a long-lived component inventory, continuously reanalyze it against vulnerability intelligence and govern a large software portfolio.
Compare the operating model
Code Report executes scanners where your code runs. Dependency-Track operates as a persistent application with a database and receives SBOMs from build pipelines.
A practical feature comparison
Based on current GitOps Code Report behavior and official Dependency-Track documentation. The products overlap in SCA, but are not identical categories.
| Capability | GitOps Code Report | Dependency-Track |
|---|---|---|
| Primary workflow | Run Trivy, Syft and Gitleaks locally or in CI | Ingest and continuously analyze CycloneDX SBOMs |
| Known vulnerability analysis | Trivy findings linked to service and Git revision | Continuous analysis across multiple vulnerability sources |
| SBOM workflow | Generate and store SBOM results with Syft | CycloneDX-native inventory and portfolio tracking |
| Secret scanning | Included through Gitleaks | Not a core Dependency-Track analysis type |
| License analysis | Trivy and Syft license findings | License evaluation and policy compliance |
| Continuous reanalysis | New analysis when a scan runs | Automatic reanalysis as intelligence changes |
| Git revision context | Repository, branch, commit, author, version and tags | Project and version supplied with the SBOM |
| CI/CD integration | One CLI command runs configured scanners and uploads results | Publish a generated CycloneDX SBOM via API or plugins |
| Production data backend | Git-native platform storage | PostgreSQL |
| Official managed Cloud | GitOps Cloud | No official managed service published by the project |
| Self-Hosted software price | Free | Free |
| Best fit | Teams wanting repository scanning inside a broader DevSecOps platform | AppSec teams operating a continuous SBOM and component inventory program |
PostgreSQL and application compute add up
For production, Dependency-Track requires PostgreSQL plus persistent API and frontend services. GitOps stores platform data in Git, so an existing private repository can have zero incremental storage cost.
Illustrative USD estimates before tax, using 730 hours/month in US regions. Application compute, backups, HA and network traffic are excluded from the database estimates.

Code Report and Dependency-Track FAQ
Is Code Report a direct replacement for Dependency-Track?
Not in every workflow. Code Report is a repository-oriented scanning and reporting product that runs Trivy, Syft and Gitleaks. Dependency-Track is a persistent SBOM analysis platform built for continuous component inventory and reanalysis.
Are both products free to self-host?
Yes. GitOps Self-Hosted is completely free with no license fee, and Dependency-Track is open source under Apache-2.0. Infrastructure and operating costs still apply to both deployments.
Does Code Report support SBOMs?
Yes. Code Report can run Syft and store its SBOM and license results. Dependency-Track expects CycloneDX SBOMs from CI or suppliers and maintains a continuously analyzed inventory from them.
Which product detects leaked secrets?
Code Report includes Gitleaks as a configurable scanner for exposed credentials. Secret scanning is not listed as a core Dependency-Track analysis type.
Does Dependency-Track offer an official managed Cloud plan?
The OWASP project publishes open-source self-hosted distributions and deployment documentation. It does not publish an official managed Cloud plan; third-party hosted offerings may exist.
