In general, a hard cost is a disbursement you pay directly to a vendor on behalf of a client; soft costs are intangibles incurred on behalf of the client.

Reference: Hard expense/soft expense

Reference information:
A hard expense is an expense you cannot avoid without it seriously affecting your life. A soft expense is an expense that, when removed, will not impact your life in a major way. Some hard expenses include rent/mortgage, electricity, food, transportation, a cell phone plan, insurance (debatable to some, but without it, there’s a real possibility of greatly affecting your life) and lastly, minimum loan payments (not paying these will have a major impact on your financial future). Some soft expenses include cable, coffee, gifts, eating out, and “me” or “miscellaneous spending” money.
