Infracost: sovereignty score and 6 European alternatives

Infracost estimates cloud costs from infrastructure-as-code before anything is deployed. It supports Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation and AWS CDK across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and is used by platform managers, FinOps teams and engineers. A command-line tool shows cost estimates and FinOps recommendations, IDE extensions show inline cost hints, and CI/CD integrations post cost diffs and policy checks on pull requests. Infracost Cloud is an optional SaaS dashboard for tagging policies, guardrails and spend tracking.

The CLI is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and runs on your own machine or CI runner. It reads infrastructure code directly and queries a Cloud Pricing API operated by Infracost for prices; the documentation states that cloud credentials, secrets and the Terraform plan are not sent. The company behind it, Infracost Inc., lists a San Francisco, California address in its privacy policy and relies on EU-US transfer safeguards for personal data. Infracost Cloud is a hosted service, so a European organisation using it should review where its usage data is processed.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Infracost

Infracost is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Infracost hosts data outside the EU (On-premise capable). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Infracost is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Infracost together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
