Is InfraGhost cheaper than Cast AI?

For most teams with 3+ clusters, yes. Cast AI's per-cluster model means your bill grows with every new cluster you add. InfraGhost is $49/mo flat regardless of how many clusters or cloud accounts you connect.

Does InfraGhost work for non-Kubernetes workloads?

Yes. InfraGhost monitors EC2 instances, RDS databases, S3 buckets, IAM policies, security groups, and Kubernetes — the full cloud stack, not just containers.

Can I switch from Cast AI to InfraGhost?

Yes. InfraGhost connects via read-only IAM in about 5 minutes. Most teams are live within the same day they sign up.

// comparison

InfraGhost vs Cast AI:
no per-cluster lock-in.

Cast AI's per-cluster model works until you scale. The moment you add clusters — dev, staging, prod, regional, team-specific — the bill compounds. InfraGhost charges flat. Add ten clusters or a hundred. The price doesn't move.

// pricing

Per-cluster fees compound as you scale.

Cast AI's per-cluster model creates a perverse incentive: every new cluster you spin up increases your bill. Dev cluster, staging cluster, regional failover cluster, team-specific environment — before long you're running 8–12 clusters and your "optimize costs" tooling costs more than the infrastructure problem it was solving. InfraGhost doesn't bill per cluster. It never will.

$0 Per-cluster fees on InfraGhost. Always.

// scope

K8s-only coverage leaves gaps.

Cast AI is optimized for Kubernetes workloads. If your infrastructure runs EC2 instances, RDS databases, S3 buckets, security groups, and IAM policies — the non-K8s components don't get the same coverage. Most teams aren't K8s-only. They run a mix of managed services, EC2, databases, and containers. InfraGhost monitors and remediates drift across the full infrastructure stack, not just your clusters.

// the alternative

Flat-rate, multi-cloud, from day one.

InfraGhost is priced flat and designed to cover your entire cloud footprint — not just the Kubernetes layer. AWS, GCP, multi-region, multi-account: the price is $49/mo on Solo, $149/mo on Team, $399/mo on Scale. That price doesn't move when you add a cluster, provision a new account, or expand to a second region. You scale; the bill doesn't.

// why teams switch

Why teams leave Cast AI for InfraGhost.

Per-cluster billing makes every new environment a budget conversation
K8s-only focus leaves EC2, RDS, S3, and IAM uncovered
Cost compounds unpredictably as infrastructure grows
InfraGhost monitors the full cloud stack, not just containers
Flat pricing means no surprise invoices when you add dev/staging clusters
Multi-cloud from day one — AWS and GCP with the same agent
