In their own words
CloudQuery
CloudQuery is an open-source context engine for cloud infrastructure that syncs data from more than 80 sources. It maps information from services such as AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, and Okta into a normalized relational schema that users can query with standard SQL. Data can be sent to destinations including Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake, and S3. CloudQuery Platform supports more than 70 integrations and processes synced data into a built-in ClickHouse database for inventory, SQL Console, policies, and reports. An MCP server in PostgreSQL or Snowflake mode lets AI agents and internal systems query synced data without a Platform subscription. Sync definitions use version-controlled YAML, and SDKs in Go, Python, JavaScript, or Java can be used to build unsupported integrations. CloudQuery can run on infrastructure the user controls, keeping data within the network unless configured otherwise. Its Free plan costs nothing, billed Forever, with a 1M rows limitation. Pricing counts rows each time they are synced. The CLI is offered for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
GLPI
GLPI is an IT management platform for helpdesk tickets, asset inventory, and service management. Users can create incident or request tickets and assign them to a group, profile, or individual. Its service workflows include problem and change management, planning, recurring tickets, statistics, and custom forms. Asset records cover hardware, software and licenses, network equipment, certificates, domains, clusters, and databases. Other tools include project workflows with Gantt or Kanban views, a knowledge base, reservations, reports, and saved searches. GLPI offers eight profile types and standard or self-service interfaces; its self-service interface is free for end users. Organizations can choose cloud or on-premise deployment. The public-cloud offer has a 45-day trial without obligation or a credit card. Public Cloud costs €19 a month per IT agent, with one billed agent minimum; Private Cloud costs €21 a month per agent and requires at least 25 billed agents. The FAQ says on-premise GLPI has no licensing fees or limit on users or technicians.
