IDA vs Ghidra

I use IDA and ghidra both and i can't choose which is better.
I think IDA is a bit more than ghidra.
Please help me to choose the correct one.😭
While I've only ever used Ghidra, and mostly to plunk around, I would assume that this is like most tools. You need to choose the proper tool for the job, so one might excel in certain circumstances, while another will be better for other tasks.

Often, it's best to pick one and really get good with it, and then you can learn the other(s) as you develop your skills. Perhaps someone with greater experience will respond and give you some additional advice.

They are both good, personally, i use IDA for the graph analysis, and Ghidra for its decompiler.

Personally I use IDA for the Graph, X64,X32 for Debugging & Ghidra for decompiling

If you're not trying to pay anything go with Ghidra, with IDA there is a fee.

Both have built-in decompilers, IDA's is more mature but Ghidra's is improving and offers unique features in my opinion. IDA does have a larger community with more resources, Ghidra's is growing but limited. Ultimately, there's no single "best" choice. Evaluate your needs and preferences to find what works best for you.

Ghidra ofc. You would keep in mind it's open source. If it's not good enough; consider making a PR.
