Resoto Review

Depends

Should I use Resoto?

[ ](https://www.spaceship.com/) - resoto.com

· 1 week ago

Choose it if you run hundreds of cloud resources across accounts and want free, searchable inventory with security and cost checks. Skip it if you manage a handful of resources — native AWS tooling or a spreadsheet covers that.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources. Many search results were noise (risotto recipes, a Salesforce consultancy, a WordPress theme named Resoto) and were excluded.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Open-source and free to self-host
  • Builds a searchable inventory across your cloud accounts
  • Flags security issues in cloud infrastructure
  • Spots leaked and unused resources to cut cloud spend
  • Positioned as open-source alternative to AWS-native inventory tools

Cons

  • Rebranded to Fix Inventory; 'Resoto' branding risks stale docs
  • Own product security page fails to load
  • Self-hosted: you operate, scale, and patch it
  • Paid components (Resoto Sentinel) exist; pricing not public
  • Sparse mainstream reviews; feedback lives in niche Reddit threads
