vm2 is a sandbox that can run untrusted code with whitelisted Node.js built-in modules. It's more feature-rich and focuses on security by providing a secure environment to execute code, whereas require-from-string simply loads modules from strings without sandboxing or security features.
The eval package is another alternative that allows for execution of code contained in strings. However, it's generally less safe than require-from-string because it executes the code in the global context, which can lead to potential security issues. require-from-string focuses on module loading rather than arbitrary code execution.
