The short version
- 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.; WarpBuild per-minute pricing requires tracking usage to estimate monthly costs
- They diverge on capability: Resolver covers Incident management, WarpBuild covers Optimized runner infrastructure.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

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.
WarpBuild
- Per-minute pricing requires tracking usage to estimate monthly costs
- Large configuration runners (32 vCPU) expensive at $0.064/min
- macOS M4 Pro 12-core at $0.16/min is highest-cost option
- BYOC option requires cloud setup by customer

Questions people ask
- Is Resolver or WarpBuild better?
- Neither clearly leads. Resolver starts at On request and WarpBuild at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Resolver or WarpBuild?
- Resolver starts at On request and WarpBuild at On request.
- Does Resolver or WarpBuild run on more platforms?
- Resolver runs on Web, iOS, Android. WarpBuild runs on GitHub Actions, Linux, Windows, macOS, Cloud.
- 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 WarpBuild is typically brought in for.
- What can Resolver do that WarpBuild cannot?
- Resolver covers Incident management, Investigations, Enterprise risk management, Internal audit. WarpBuild covers Optimized runner infrastructure, Intelligent caching, Incremental builds, Multi-architecture support.
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.
WarpBuild: How much cheaper is WarpBuild compared to GitHub Actions?
WarpBuild offers approximately 50% cost savings compared to GitHub-hosted runners. For example, Linux x86-64 2vCPU/8GB costs $0.004/min with WarpBuild vs $0.008/min with GitHub Actions.
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.
WarpBuild: What is BYOC and how does it differ from managed runners?
BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) allows customers to run WarpBuild on their own cloud infrastructure at $0.002/min. Managed runners use WarpBuild's cloud infrastructure. BYOC provides lower costs but requires customer setup.
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.
WarpBuild: Does WarpBuild support ARM64 runners?
Yes, WarpBuild offers ARM64 runners at lower costs than x86-64. Linux ARM64 starts at $0.003/min for 2vCPU/8GB configuration.
SourceResolver: 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.
