Sonatype edges out Jfrog modestly on homepage messaging, 79 to 65. Here's where the gap comes from.

Jfrog is clearer about what it does (84 vs 72 on clarity). Jfrog's hero ("Deliver Trusted Software in the AI Era") names something concrete, while Sonatype's ("Real-Time Intelligence for AI Coding Assistants") stays abstract. Sonatype is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 89 vs 74). Sonatype has a much stronger pricing page (100 vs 80).

Jfrog uses a "Platform / Ecosystem" positioning while Sonatype goes with "Community / Movement" — fundamentally different approaches to winning the same buyer.
