You're probably looking for a performance comparison. Look here:

This one stays pretty well updated. On the MIP side:

  * COPT
  * SCIP
  * HiGHS
seem to be top performers (of the OSS variety).

IIRC OR-Tools often by default uses SCIP for its MILP backend.

The latest results show HiGHS to be significantly better than vanilla SCIP. If "OSS" means "Open Source Solvers" then COPT isn't open-source and SCIP isn't open source for commercial purposes. Hence the warning given by OR-Tools. HiGHS is very much the best bet going forward for open-source MIP
