CloudQuery vs Lansweeper

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.

Lansweeper is Cyber Asset Intelligence software for organizations seeking visibility into their technology environments. It discovers IT, operational technology, cloud, and virtual assets, including unmanaged and rogue assets. Discovery can be agentless, with an IT Agent available for situations such as work-from-home environments. Inventory tools include data federation, normalization, classification, cleanup rules, dashboards, and generated diagrams. Lansweeper also provides vulnerability insights and flags software or assets that are at or approaching end of life. The platform offers a GraphQL API, webhooks, marketplace integrations, and a Flow Builder for custom workflows. Starter limits integrations to Service Desk ticket enrichment and has limited API features; Pro and Enterprise include marketplace apps, while full API access is in Enterprise. Lansweeper offers cloud-first Lansweeper Sites and on-premise Lansweeper Classic. Its cloud service uses TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, encrypted credential storage, and logical customer-data separation. The free plan covers up to 100 assets. A 14-day trial provides access to all features without a credit card. Starter costs $199 a month billed annually; Pro costs $379 a month billed annually.
