Why Teams Choose StateNode Over Terraform Cloud
Predictable Costs: While Terraform Cloud charges $1.01 per managed resource per month and other competitors use complex pricing models, StateNode's flat-fee tiers mean your bill stays consistent as your team and infrastructure grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about StateNode, Terraform state management, and our flat-fee pricing model.
What is StateNode and how does it work?
StateNode is a complete Terraform state management platform that serves as a remote backend for your Terraform infrastructure. It stores your state files securely in the cloud, provides team collaboration features, and can execute Terraform operations directly through our platform.
Unlike basic state storage solutions, StateNode includes approval workflows, team permissions, VCS integration with GitHub/GitLab, real-time monitoring, and enterprise-grade security features. You can migrate from your current backend by simply changing one line in your Terraform configuration.
How does StateNode's pricing work? Why is it cheaper?
StateNode uses flat-fee pricing based on the number of state files you store, not the number of users, resources, or environments. Our three tiers are: Hobby ($9/month for up to 500 files), Pro ($49/month for up to 2,500 files), and Scale ($149/month for up to 10,000 files).
This saves you money because competitors use various expensive pricing models: Terraform Cloud charges per resource managed ($1.01 per resource per month), env0 charges daily platform fees plus per-environment costs ($1,470/month + $30/environment/month), Pulumi charges per resource ($0.365 per resource per month), and Spacelift charges for workers (starting at $399/month). With StateNode, you can add unlimited developers for $0 extra and your bill doesn't grow as your infrastructure scales.
For example, a team managing 1,000 resources would pay $504/month with Terraform Cloud, $365/month with Pulumi, or $1,470+ with env0, but only $49/month with StateNode Pro - saving $316-1,421/month or $3,792-17,052/year.
When will StateNode be available? What's the development status?
StateNode is currently in active development with an expected launch in November 2025. We're building the platform from the ground up with a focus on reliability, security, and developer experience.
When you join our waitlist, you'll receive regular updates about our development progress, early access opportunities, and be the first to know when we launch with a free trial.
Our development roadmap includes completing the core Terraform backend protocol, team management features, execution platform, and enterprise security measures before launch.
What features are included? How does it compare to Terraform Cloud?
StateNode includes everything you need for professional Terraform management: remote state storage, state locking and versioning, team collaboration with approval workflows, VCS integration (GitHub/GitLab), Terraform execution platform, multi-workspace support, enterprise security, comprehensive audit logging, and real-time monitoring.
Compared to Terraform Cloud, StateNode offers the same core features but with significant cost savings (55-95% less), unlimited team members on all plans, and transparent flat-fee pricing that doesn't punish you for good DevOps practices like using multiple workspaces.
Unlike basic state storage solutions, StateNode is a complete platform that can replace Terraform Cloud entirely while saving thousands of dollars annually for growing teams.
How easy is it to migrate from my current Terraform backend?
Migration to StateNode is designed to be as simple as changing one line in your Terraform configuration. We support the standard Terraform HTTP backend protocol, so migration is seamless without complex tools or data transformation.
The process involves updating your backend configuration to point to StateNode, running terraform init
, and confirming the state migration. Your existing state files, lock information, and workspace structure are preserved during the migration.
We provide detailed migration guides and support for common scenarios including migrating from local state, S3 backends, Terraform Cloud, and other remote backends.
How secure is StateNode? What about compliance and data protection?
StateNode implements bank-level security with end-to-end encryption, enterprise-grade protection, and comprehensive audit logging. Your state files are encrypted at rest and in transit, with access controls and authentication required for all operations.
We maintain detailed audit logs of all user actions, infrastructure changes, and system access for compliance purposes. Our infrastructure includes automated backups, disaster recovery procedures, and 99.9% uptime SLA.
Your state files are stored in geographically distributed, highly available object storage with multiple backup copies and point-in-time recovery capabilities. We never have access to your actual infrastructure credentials - only the state metadata.
How does team collaboration work? What about approval workflows?
StateNode includes comprehensive team management with role-based permissions (Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer) and approval workflows that require team approval before terraform apply operations execute.
You can invite unlimited team members to your organization at no extra cost, set granular permissions per project or workspace, and configure approval requirements based on your team's governance needs.
The platform integrates with your VCS workflow - when pull requests are created, StateNode automatically runs terraform plan and posts results as comments. Team members can review and approve changes before they're applied to your infrastructure.
What kind of support and documentation will be available?
StateNode will launch with comprehensive documentation including getting started guides, migration tutorials, API reference, and best practices for Terraform state management and team workflows.
All plans include email support, with Pro and Scale plans receiving priority response times. Scale plans include dedicated support channels for enterprise customers.
We're building StateNode for the developer community, so we're committed to providing excellent documentation, tutorials, and responsive support to help teams succeed with infrastructure as code.
