Transparency alternatives to Factory
Other Coding assistants vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Factory. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 15 that differ from Factory on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Factory has 3 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116). The column “Found there, not found at Factory” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
