jstable vs Prowler
A side-by-side editorial comparison of jstable and Prowler — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
jstable vs Prowler: at a glance
What is jstable?
A clinical table generator paying down years of edge cases in survey-weighted models
jstable turns regression and survival models into the formatted tables medical papers publish, wrapping coxph, glm, geeglm, lmer and their survey-weighted counterparts. The recent line is almost entirely correction work, concentrated in two places: the .display family and the TableSubgroup family. Version 1.3.25 alone fixed quasibinomial support for survey-weighted logistic regression, automatic factor-to-numeric outcome conversion for svyglm, weighted-versus-original sample counts in the n row, data.table input handling, and Overall column labelling.
What is Prowler?
Prowler's assistant decides what to do with findings; the patches keep the scanner honest
Prowler is shipping a minor release roughly weekly with patches filling the gaps. The agentic layer, Lighthouse, has moved from explaining findings to acting on them, with named skills attached to individual findings and every write path bound to the asking user's RBAC. Alongside that, 5.39.1 fixes an install path that had been quietly broken: 5.38.0 declared a cryptography floor its own dependencies capped below, so pip install prowler silently resolved back to 5.37.1.

◆ Current state
jstable turns regression and survival models into the formatted tables medical papers publish, wrapping coxph, glm, geeglm, lmer and their survey-weighted counterparts. The recent line is almost entirely correction work, concentrated in two places: the .display family and the TableSubgroup family. Version 1.3.25 alone fixed quasibinomial support for survey-weighted logistic regression, automatic factor-to-numeric outcome conversion for svyglm, weighted-versus-original sample counts in the n row, data.table input handling, and Overall column labelling.
◆ Where it's heading
Each CRAN release bundles several GitHub patch versions, so the notes read as rolled-up fix lists rather than feature announcements. The substantive thread is pcut.univariate, introduced across seven display functions in 1.3.11 to allow multivariable analysis restricted to significant variables, and repaired repeatedly since as it collided with interaction terms, single-variable selections, clustered models and data.table inputs. The survey-weighted path is the other recurring source: counts, labels and family handling that worked for unweighted data kept failing once weights were involved.
◆ Prediction
Expect further patches in the survey-weighted subgroup functions, since 1.3.25 fixed four separate issues there and each recent release has surfaced more in the same area.

Prowler's assistant decides what to do with findings; the patches keep the scanner honest
◆ Current state
Prowler is shipping a minor release roughly weekly with patches filling the gaps. The agentic layer, Lighthouse, has moved from explaining findings to acting on them, with named skills attached to individual findings and every write path bound to the asking user's RBAC. Alongside that, 5.39.1 fixes an install path that had been quietly broken: 5.38.0 declared a cryptography floor its own dependencies capped below, so pip install prowler silently resolved back to 5.37.1.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks run in parallel and rarely overlap. The minor releases push the commercial agentic surface forward — triage skills, page context, the MCP tool set — while the patches defend the parts everyone uses: dependency resolution, container CVEs, and check correctness. That second track matters more than its version numbers suggest, because a security scanner reporting PASS when an API call failed is worse than one that errors. 5.39.1 fixes exactly that in the ECS task-definition checks, and makes the SES public-access check evaluate every identity policy rather than stopping at the first.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next minor to extend Lighthouse skills to groups of findings rather than one at a time, with patch releases continuing to absorb Trivy and base-image CVE churn.
