Best Terraform Cloud Alternative
env0 provides an alternative to Terraform Cloud with pricing based on deployments rather than resources under management (RUM), which makes better sense at scale.
env0 also offers a range of unique features that enhance reliability, productivity and collaboration. These include customizable workflows, support for multiple frameworks, advanced cost management tools, dynamic access controls, and more.
env0 works with every IaC framework - Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Ansible, etc, offering:
- Flexible multi-framework support
- Comprehensive Kubernetes support
- Self-hosted agent
- Extensive integration options (Checkov, Grafana, DataDog, etc.)
Using env0 boosts development velocity and reliability, paving the golden path for IaC usage with:
- Dynamic RBAC and approval policies
- Shared templates and variables
- Advanced cost controls
- Baked in Atlantis/GitOps flows
env0 enhances IaC operations with build-for-scale pricing and capabilities:
- Predictable pricing based only on successful applies (not RUM)
- Unlimited concurrent deployments
- Constant visibility, with a detailed deployment history
- Flexible Multi-tiered workflows

Jason Walsh
Sr. Infrastructure Engineer
env0 allows us to focus on writing and maintaining our Terraform configurations. Speculative plans for pull requests enable our team to quickly review and approve changes to our infrastructure which helps mitigate risk and provides transparency.

Troy Knapp
Senior DevOps Engineer
env0 cut our mean time to merge in half by helping us better manage our workflow and code conflicts. Their customer service and willingness to roll out features based on our needs was unprecedented.
Troy E. Lillehoff
VP of Cloud Strategy
We looked at a lot of tools, but env0 really stood out. It provided us with a mature enterprise-ready solution, robust integration options, and an easy way to keep our costs under control.

Radek Dors
Site Reliability Engineer
We chose env0 to manage all of our AWS Terraform-based deployments. Thanks to env0, we can now collaborate and manage our environments, leveraging GitOps and governance workflows.
Imri Zvik
Director of Architecture
Using env0, we now can provide an infrastructure to our developers, allowing me to focus on what’s important. I no longer have to manage the management solution.

Eldad Stainbook
Director of Cloud Engineering
Creating a CloudFront or EKS distribution used to take me about three days, now it takes about ten minutes, because we know the model works. All you have to do is populate a few values and that’s it.
Scale up benefits, cut down costs
Unlimited concurrency
Terraform Cloud's concurrent run fees can add up quickly. With env0, you can avoid wasteful spending and execute unlimited simultaneous runs at no extra cost.
IaC-centric pipelines
Replace Terraform Cloud webhooks with easy-to-use custom flows to seamlessly integrate whatever tools you may need. Leverage deployment workflows to easily manage multiple IaC stacks and resolve complex dependencies.
Flexible workflows
Teams have different needs and types of deployments with every project. env0 retains flexibility infrastructure teams need to make adjustments by using PR planning (with both git and Atlantis-style workflows), continuous deployment, and custom policies.
Managed self-service
Dismantle silos and regain valuable time with managed self-service tools and Policy-as-Code guardrails, empowering teams to spin up entire infrastructure with ease and confidence. Bake in IaC best practices with:
Advanced FinOps tools
With env0 you can easily monitor your spending, set custom budget policies, and automatically know the cloud costs of every change by using:
Robust IaC automation tools
CI/CD automation makes your Infrastructure as Code more manageable. Anchor IaC into your development lifecycle and detect issues before they hit production with:
Extended integration options
Unlike Terraform Cloud, env0 supports every Infrastructure-as-Code framework – Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation, etc. Our platform also supports critical tools in the DevOps tech stack like:
- Kubernetes and Helm
- OPA and Checkov
- Trivy and Lightlytics
and many more
Continuous IaC visibility
Gain continuous visibility within your infrastructure stack, offering contextual insights into changes and drifts for granular auditability and compliance, enhanced by features like:
Granular access controls
Going beyond Terraform Cloud's static access controls, our platform supports dynamic RBAC and flexible access policies, streamlined by SAML/OIDC single sign-on (SSO) integrations.
