Proactive FinOps platform that shifts cost management left into CI/CD and IDEs. Parses Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK plans to generate cost breakdowns before deployment, and equips AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) with a live cloud pricing API covering 10M+ prices to generate budget-compliant infrastructure on the first attempt.
| Tier | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
Free | Free | 1,000 cost estimation runs/month, CI/CD integration (GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps), open-source CLI, community support |
Cloud | $1,000/month; 10 admin seats, FinOps policies, cost guardrails, dashboards, team management, audit trails | — |
Starter | $250/month; 10,000 runs/month, email support | — |

Infracost gives AI coding agents a live cloud pricing API so they generate budget-aware Terraform.
Infracost parses Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK plans into cost breakdowns surfaced in the PR. The newer differentiator is its API and MCP server exposing 10M+ live cloud prices to Claude Code, Copilot, and Cursor, so AI-generated infrastructure picks instance sizes that meet requirements at the lowest sane cost on the first try, rather than getting flagged after the PR is open.
Who it's for. Platform engineers and FinOps teams of 5 to 50 people at organizations where cost is a deployment gate. The scenario: a developer asks Cursor to write a Terraform module for a caching layer, Infracost's MCP server feeds in pricing context, and Cursor produces a module using cache.t3.medium instead of cache.r6g.xlarge because it knows the smaller instance meets the spec at one-third the cost.
Tradeoffs. Estimates only, not enforcement; you still need OPA to actually block over-budget plans. The agent pricing API requires the Cloud tier. Self-hosted CLI is free but means running Infracost in your own CI. Cloud and Enterprise tiers add team features and policy guardrails.
