| Proprietary software | Freeware software |
|---|---|
| Proprietary software is owned and controlled by a single entity (company or individual), and its source code is not publicly available. | Freeware Software is free to use, but ownership remains with the developer, and its source code may not be publicly available. |
| Its use is regulated and further distribution and modification is either forbidden or requires special permission by the supplier or vendor. | This allows copying and further distribution, but not modification. |
| Examples: Microsoft Windows, Tally etc. | Examples: TeamViewer, VLC Media Player etc. |
