Clair vs Logto
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Clair and Logto — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Clair vs Logto: at a glance
What is Clair?
Clair 4.10 RC can read SBOMs to match Java vulnerabilities.
Clair cut its first 4.10.0 release candidate on November 13, eleven months after 4.9.0. Its Java indexers can now read CycloneDX SBOM files and treat them as the source of truth, and Red Hat's VEX data now covers Maven advisories, so Java packages in Red Hat images can be matched. It also reduces memory use when many packages share a source package.
What is Logto?
Logto's feed shows connector package bumps only, with no release notes attached.
The three visible Logto entries are monorepo sub-package tags with no body text: the Twilio SMS connector at 1.5.0, the DingTalk web connector at 0.4.7, and the experience phrases package at 1.15.0 a month earlier. The Twilio bump is a minor version, which suggests a functional change to SMS delivery, but the entry does not say what changed.

Clair 4.10 RC can read SBOMs to match Java vulnerabilities.
◆ Current state
Clair cut its first 4.10.0 release candidate on November 13, eleven months after 4.9.0. Its Java indexers can now read CycloneDX SBOM files and treat them as the source of truth, and Red Hat's VEX data now covers Maven advisories, so Java packages in Red Hat images can be matched. It also reduces memory use when many packages share a source package.
◆ Where it's heading
Since 4.8 Clair has moved from Red Hat's older OVAL data to VEX, and each release follows Red Hat's security data more closely. 4.10 adds SBOMs as an input, so Clair can match what an image's own manifest declares, not only what it finds on disk.
◆ Prediction
More 4.10 release candidates and then a final are likely; the long gap between releases suggests that could take weeks.
Logto
2.5INFRA · APIS
Logto's feed shows connector package bumps only, with no release notes attached.
◆ Current state
The three visible Logto entries are monorepo sub-package tags with no body text: the Twilio SMS connector at 1.5.0, the DingTalk web connector at 0.4.7, and the experience phrases package at 1.15.0 a month earlier. The Twilio bump is a minor version, which suggests a functional change to SMS delivery, but the entry does not say what changed.
◆ Where it's heading
No product direction can be read from version tags alone. The only observable pattern is that connector and localization packages are published individually and continue to be maintained.
◆ Prediction
More per-package tags will appear alongside each core release. What those releases contain is not visible from this source.
