In their own words

env0

env0 is a cloud control plane for governing infrastructure and helping teams manage, automate, and scale it. Developers and AI agents deploy through reusable templates and Git-based workflows, with RBAC, scoped variables, and policy-as-code guardrails. It supports Terraform, Terragrunt, Pulumi, OpenTofu, Kubernetes, Helm, Ansible, and AWS CloudFormation across cloud accounts, Kubernetes resources, and IaC-managed environments. Drift management detects changes across clouds, plans fixes with blast-radius context, remediates at the infrastructure-as-code source, and rescans. Cloud Asset Management maps resources across clouds, accounts, and SaaS providers to owners, costs, dependencies, and policy state. Listed integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, AWS, Azure, GCP, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Datadog, and Backstage. The Free Tier costs nothing, billed Free / Forever, with up to 30 active environments, 250 monthly deployments, one concurrent run, unlimited users and agents, and community support. Custom-priced Cloud Navigator and Cloud Pilot plans are also listed.

OpenTofu

OpenTofu is a free infrastructure as code tool for defining cloud and on-premises resources in human-readable configuration files. Its workflow moves from writing configuration to generating a plan and applying approved changes in dependency order. Providers connect it with cloud platforms, SaaS services and APIs, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Helm, GitHub, Splunk and Datadog. Reusable modules and a public registry support configurable infrastructure collections. OpenTofu tracks resources in a state file, builds a dependency graph and can change independent resources in parallel. Built-in client-side state encryption supports key providers such as PBKDF2, AWS KMS, GCP KMS and OpenBao. Providers can be installed from registries, local mirrors or caches, including for air-gapped environments. OpenTofu is presented as a Terraform replacement that preserves existing workflows and configurations. OCI registries can host modules and serve as a secondary provider source, but not yet the primary source. Official installation options cover Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD and OCI container images.
