Infracost scans for Terraform code changes and checks over 3 million prices to create a simple, understandable cost estimate before any resources are launched.

Hi everyone. Today we and HashiCorp are launching a Terraform Cloud feature called Run Tasks into General Availability! You can now integrate Infracost directly into the Terraform Cloud workflow in about 3 minutes! May the 4th be with you!

Interesting, they already have cost estimation built in last we tried TFC. I can't remember how well it worked, what are some of the reasons folks might want to use this over TFC native cost estimation?

I think the main reason right now is that the TFC native cost estimation just doesn’t have very broad coverage (they cover something like 15 aws resources, 3 GCP, and 25 Azure).

We covered the other reasons <https://www.infracost.io/docs/faq/#whats-the-difference-between-infracost-and-terraform-clouds-cost-estimation|here>
