Infracost

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.

How we review

Overview

Infracost is a cloud cost estimation tool for Infrastructure as Code. It parses Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK plan output and generates a cost breakdown showing monthly spend delta before any change is applied. Cost estimates appear as PR comments in GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.

The Infracost MCP server and CLI expose a live pricing API covering 10M+ cloud prices to AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor). When an agent uses this pricing context, it can select appropriately sized resources on the first attempt rather than generating plans that fail cost review.

Self-hosted CLI is open-source (Apache 2.0). Cloud tier adds team features, policy enforcement, and the agent pricing API. Enterprise adds SSO and custom policies.

Key Features

  • PR cost commenting: parses Terraform, CloudFormation, and CDK plans to generate monthly spend delta breakdowns posted as PR comments before any change is applied
  • MCP server for AI agents: exposes live cloud pricing data to Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents so they generate cost-aware infrastructure on the first attempt
  • 10M+ cloud price coverage: pricing data for AWS, GCP, and Azure resource types updated from provider APIs — used by both the CLI and the MCP server
  • Policy guardrails (Cloud tier): configurable thresholds that block or warn on over-budget PRs before merge — enforces cost gates without post-deploy billing surprises
  • Open-source self-hosted CLI (Apache 2.0): runs locally or in CI without a cloud account for teams with self-hosted CI infrastructure
  • Cost trend reporting (Cloud tier): tracks cost per deployment, per team, and over time to connect engineering activity with infrastructure spend
