New Year, New Free Terracotta AI Pro Tier for Open Source Terraform Repos: Supporting Open Source Without Strings Attached

Terraform has always been an open ecosystem. Some of the most critical infrastructure patterns in the world are built, shared, and improved in public repositories by engineers who care deeply about doing things the right way.

We want to support that.

Today, we’re officially launching Terracotta AI Pro for public and open-source Terraform repositories, free of charge.

Sign up for free here: https://tryterracotta.com/signup and install your public Terraform repos in just 2 clicks.

What This Means

If your Terraform repository is public or open source, you get full access to Terracotta AI Pro at no cost.

That includes:

• AI-powered Terraform PR reviews
• Drift detection against state and live infrastructure
• Cost impact analysis
• Security and misconfiguration detection
• Contextual, human-readable explanations directly in PRs

No trial limits. No feature gating. No credit card.

How Pricing Works Going Forward

Terracotta AI will only charge when private repositories are attached.

In other words:

• Public repos: always free
• Open-source Terraform: always free
• Private repos: per-seat pricing applies

If you’re building in the open, you shouldn’t pay just to understand what your Terraform changes are doing.

Why We’re Doing This

Terraform is powerful, but it’s also easy to get wrong. Open-source maintainers and contributors shouldn’t have to choose between shipping responsibly and absorbing extra tooling costs.

We believe:

• Better reviews lead to safer infrastructure.
• Safer infrastructure benefits the entire ecosystem.
• AI should reduce risk, not create new barriers.

This is our way of investing back into the Terraform community while keeping our business model aligned with real, private-production use.

Get Started

If you maintain or contribute to a public Terraform repository, you can connect it to Terracotta AI today and start getting full Pro-level reviews immediately.

The automated tier management will be automated in the near future, but for now, email our founders at [email protected] with your name and the email you used to create the account, and get you squared away.

Just better Terraform reviews, where they matter most.
