Alternatives to Lightup
Other Data catalogs and governance vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Lightup does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 15 that differ from Lightup on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Lightup has 9 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Named privacy contact. The column “publishes and Lightup does not” 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.
