The short version
- Only Rust has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: 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.; Rust compile times significantly longer than languages like Go or C
- They diverge on capability: Resolver covers Incident management, Rust covers Memory safety.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.
Where they differ

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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.
Rust
- Compile times significantly longer than languages like Go or C
- Smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Python or JavaScript
- Community still smaller than mainstream languages, reducing available third-party resources

Which should you pick?
Choose Resolver if
- You need incident management.
- You work on Web, iOS, Android.
- You also want investigations.
Choose Rust if
- You need memory safety.
- You want to start without paying.
- You work on Windows, Linux, macOS.
- You also want zero-cost abstractions.
Questions people ask
- Is Resolver or Rust better?
- Neither clearly leads. Resolver starts at On request and Rust at Free, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Resolver or Rust?
- Rust has a free tier; the other does not. Paid plans start at On request for Resolver and Free for Rust.
- Does Resolver or Rust run on more platforms?
- Resolver runs on Web, iOS, Android. Rust runs on Windows, Linux, macOS.
- Can I use Rust for free?
- Yes. Rust has a free tier, so you can try it without paying. Resolver starts at On request.
- What is Resolver best used for?
- Resolver is most often used for a national retailer consolidating store incident reporting, loss prevention cases and investigations into one system with defensible evidence handling, a bank that needs operational risk events captured against a risk and control register rather than in spreadsheets and email, a university security operations centre running dispatch, case management and clery-style reporting from a single record, an organisation that already retains kroll for investigations and wants case intake and vendor handoff in the same platform. Of those, a national retailer consolidating store incident reporting, loss prevention cases and investigations into one system with defensible evidence handling and a bank that needs operational risk events captured against a risk and control register rather than in spreadsheets and email are not what Rust is typically brought in for.
- What can Resolver do that Rust cannot?
- Resolver covers Incident management, Investigations, Enterprise risk management, Internal audit. Rust covers Memory safety, Zero-cost abstractions, Ownership system, Pattern matching.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Resolver: Who owns Resolver?
Kroll, which acquired it in 2022. It is marketed as a Kroll business and sold alongside Kroll risk and investigations services.
Rust: Is Rust free?
Yes, Rust is free and open-source. The Rust Foundation provides institutional support for this community-driven project, and there are no costs associated with using the programming language.
SourceResolver: What does Resolver cost?
Pricing is not published. It is quoted by module and user count on an annual or multi-year enterprise agreement, with implementation charged separately.
Rust: What license does Rust use?
Rust is open-source and operated under an open-source license. Full license details are available in the policies section of the Rust website.
SourceResolver: Is Resolver a SOC 2 compliance tool?
No. It is a risk, incident and investigations platform. Automated evidence collection for security certifications is not its strength.
Resolver: How long does implementation take?
Months rather than weeks for a multi-module deployment, and most customers use vendor or partner services to configure it.
