JEB is a desktop reverse-engineering platform for disassembly, decompilation, debugging, and analysis of code and document files. It is aimed at security professionals, reverse engineers, auditors, researchers, and organizations working with malware or embedded systems. Coverage spans native binaries for x86, ARM, MIPS, RISC-V, and other processors, along with Android applications, Java class files, Dalvik, WebAssembly, Ethereum contracts, PLC programs, GPU SASS, and PDF documents. A free Community Edition is available, alongside a separate time-limited demo.

Pricing is divided by module access and licensing model. JEB Android costs $1,200 per user per year or $140 per user per month and includes Android modules. JEB Pro costs $2,000 per user per year and includes all modules. JEB Pro Floating costs $4,000 per seat per year and adds floating seats, while JEB Pro OEM costs $8,000 per server per year and adds SaaS/back-end integrations. Paid non-OEM licenses are subscription-based, so teams should account for recurring licensing rather than a perpetual purchase. The range of options suits individual specialists, shared-seat teams, and organizations embedding JEB into a service.

Its main distinction is breadth combined with an extensible analysis workflow. Interactive refactoring, renaming, commenting, cross-referencing, graphing, control-flow and call graphs, optimization, and obfuscation analysis support detailed investigation. Python scripting, Java or Python plugin development, JEB API access, intermediate-representation analysis, headless clients, and automation pipelines extend the platform beyond interactive desktop work. Android and native-code debugging add another layer for dynamic analysis, while PDF structure and embedded-script analysis broaden its document coverage. JEB is a strong fit for professionals handling varied formats and automated workflows; teams focused only on Android may prefer the narrower JEB Android plan.
