## What it is
Infracost is a cloud cost intelligence tool that estimates monthly costs and flags FinOps best practices for Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, and AWS CDK before deployment. It integrates with terminals, editors, AI coding agents, and CI/CD pipelines to surface cost impact in pull requests and workflows.

## Use cases
- estimate cloud costs for terraform before deploying
- show cost impact of infrastructure changes in pull requests
- enforce finops best practices in ci/cd pipeline
- find cost savings in aws azure gcp infrastructure code
- estimate monthly cost of cloudformation or cdk stack
- prevent cloud cost overruns from infrastructure changes
- give ai coding agents cloud cost awareness

## When to choose
- your team uses Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK on AWS, Azure, or GCP
- you want cost estimates and FinOps guardrails in pull requests and CI before resources are provisioned
- you need cost visibility across terminal, editor, AI agents, and CI from one engine

## When to avoid
- you need runtime cost monitoring or billing analysis of already-deployed resources rather than IaC estimates
- your infrastructure is not managed with IaC tools like Terraform or CloudFormation
- you need a fully self-hosted solution without any cloud service dependency
