DejaCode review
A broad compliance workspace for teams managing FOSS obligations across products.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DejaCode is an open-source license compliance application for organizations managing software products and third-party components. It is designed for legal, business, compliance, and software-development teams that need shared product, component, package, and license inventories alongside FOSS obligation management. The platform is available as hosted SaaS software or for deployment on private infrastructure, with web and API access. Its scope covers compliance operations across products rather than a single narrow license-reporting task.
Its strongest fit is breadth across inventory, policy, documentation, and workflow. DejaCode supports usage-policy management, policy-rule evaluation, policy-violation tracking, notifications, reports, data export, and attribution document generation. SBOM import covers CycloneDX, SPDX, and AboutFile formats, while export supports CycloneDX and SPDX. Workflow requests and request tracking add an operational layer for coordinating reviews, and REST API access plus webhooks support integration with internal processes. Repository integrations include GitHub, GitLab, SourceHut, Forgejo, and Jira Cloud.
The published plan highlights show Team, Business, and Enterprise each including unlimited products, technical training, web and email support, and a free 30-day private evaluation. The pricing page states that subscriptions are annual and paid at the start of the subscription period. Buyers should choose DejaCode when they need a mature commercial compliance management system with multiple deployment options, structured catalogs, SBOM exchange, and attribution reporting. Teams seeking automated policy enforcement or clearer published differences between paid tiers may need to compare alternatives before selecting a plan.
