Infracost
softwareAbout
Infracost shifts FinOps left by showing cloud cost impacts directly in pull requests for Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, and CloudFormation, helping engineering teams catch budget overruns before deployment.
Overview
Infracost is the de-facto standard for shifting FinOps left, used by 3,000+ companies for catching cost waste in Terraform PRs before resources are deployed. Users praise the quick setup and broad cloud coverage; common gripes are estimate divergence on dynamically-scaling resources and UI rough edges.
Pros
- +Catches cloud cost waste before it hits the bill
- +Quick setup in hours with no cloud credentials needed
- +Native PR integration with GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps
- +Wide resource coverage across major clouds
- +Strong Terraform-first support
Cons
- -Estimates can diverge from reality for dynamically-scaled resources
- -Multi-cloud pricing nuances need additional configuration
- -UI and processing performance could be improved
- -Strongest coverage is Terraform; other IaC frameworks are lighter
