Where Infracost fits
Infracost is strongest when the main job is cost visibility for infrastructure changes.

Direct answer
Infracost is purpose-built for cloud cost estimates around infrastructure changes, especially pull-request cost visibility. Cloudeval is broader: it combines cost context with Azure architecture diagrams, Well-Architected-style reports, evidence, GitHub, CLI, and MCP workflows. Cloudeval should not claim to replace dedicated FinOps tools.

Cloudeval is strongest when cost needs to be reviewed alongside architecture, security, reliability, diagrams, evidence, and report exports.
Use dedicated FinOps tooling for mature cost-management programs. Use Cloudeval when cost is part of an architecture review decision.
No. Cloudeval is broader cloud review tooling, not a dedicated replacement for every Infracost workflow.
Yes. Current docs describe cost reports and cost intelligence signals, with estimates depending on available project and pricing data.
