You can open https://www.hashicorp.com/en/pricing and contact their sales department!

Also, wasn't there an uproar when Terraform turned slightly less free? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37081306

Oh, I've been through the sales process. The trouble is that everything I've ever NEEDED has been free, and everything I might concievably want is locked behind a fairly high price threshold that I can never justify.

They need some way for folks like me to get our companies to pay like $5k a year ARR for something that makes it more useful without going the full enterprise route.
