What we could not verify

Pricing is not published — evaluating it means a sales conversation.
Their site does not publish which specific markets or retailer clean standards the compliance module covers, so we do not characterise that coverage.

Where they differ

What it is: TamatsA research and compliance workspace you talk to, sitting in front of whatever system of record you already run.; CoptisA product lifecycle management suite — the system of record itself.
How you start: TamatsFree tier, Google sign-in, no credit card; the compliance scan needs no account at all.; CoptisPricing is not published; evaluation starts with a sales conversation.
How answers are grounded: TamatsCite-or-abstain, enforced in code: regulatory claims link a primary source or the agent stops. Findings are computed against the compiled corpus, and an unmatched ingredient returns “review”, never a fabricated pass.; CoptisNot characterised — their published material does not describe how AI output is sourced.

Choose Coptis when

You need a genuine PLM system of record — approval workflows, formal document control, an established deployment path across a multi-site lab organisation.
You are replacing an existing PLM and expect implementation services and long-horizon vendor support.

Choose Tamats when

The work in front of you is research and regulatory screening, not lifecycle administration, and you want an answer this afternoon rather than after an implementation.
You want to check a formula against a market or a retailer clean standard before you commit to any software at all — the scan is ungated.
You need the citation behind every regulatory claim, because someone downstream is going to ask where the number came from.
