When editing an HCP Terraform plan, you have several billing model options:
Set up billing for the first time on a Trial or Pay-as-you-go HCP Billing account. Trial credits are consumed before a credit card is billed. Consumption is incurred every hour and invoiced monthly.
Select an existing HashiCorp Flex account. Consumption is incurred every hour.
Select a Plan
You can compare the feature sets for Standard and Plus Edition as well as estimate the monthly costs based on the number of managed resources in your Organization.
Choose HCP Billing Account
If you selected [Trial or pay-as-you-go HCP Billing accounts], you will be asked if you want to instead commit to a long term enterprise contract. If not, continue and activate on your trial credit balance or credit card.
