The short version

  • Each has a real cost: OneTrust complex usage-based pricing model with multiple meters (admin users, inventory size, daily visitors, data subjects) making total cost unpredictable; Resolver kroll ownership since 2022 means the product is sold alongside risk consulting services, so buyers who want software with no services attach should expect that conversation and should price the licence separately in negotiation.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

OneTrust

  • Complex usage-based pricing model with multiple meters (admin users, inventory size, daily visitors, data subjects) making total cost unpredictable
  • No published pricing examples or per-unit costs; all pricing requires custom quotes
  • Each solution area uses different pricing metrics, requiring complex calculations for multi-solution purchases
  • Enterprise-only positioning (Fortune 500 focus) suggests premium pricing, discouraging mid-market or startup adoption
  • Platform complexity and multiple solution areas may result in significant implementation and ongoing costs not disclosed upfront

Resolver

  • Kroll ownership since 2022 means the product is sold alongside risk consulting services, so buyers who want software with no services attach should expect that conversation and should price the licence separately in negotiation.
  • Configuration flexibility comes at the cost of implementation time, with deployments commonly running several months and typically requiring vendor or partner services, so the first-year cost is well above the annual licence.
  • Module-based pricing means the platform gets expensive quickly once you add audit, compliance and continuity to a security-led purchase, and modules bought later rarely carry the discount of the original deal.
  • The IT and cyber compliance side is thinner than dedicated tools, so organisations chasing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence automation will find it does not replace a Drata or Vanta.
  • Reporting is capable but the drag and drop builder has a real learning curve, and organisations that do not train an internal administrator end up raising support tickets for changes that should be self-service.
