Fully managed cloud data platform for warehousing and analytics
Updated
Snowflake is a fully managed cloud data platform used as a data warehouse and for analytics and AI workloads, where Snowflake handles the infrastructure and customers pay for what they consume.
Customers load data, run queries on compute billed in credits, and pay monthly for storage measured on average compressed data. Storage can be bought on demand or as pre-paid capacity. Prices vary by platform and region.
Snowflake is used by data engineering, analytics and data science teams, and its higher editions target regulated industries. The editions page positions Enterprise as the most popular for high-growth and large-scale customers.
Snowflake uses consumption-based pricing. Compute is billed in credits, and storage is billed monthly on the average compressed data stored, either on demand or with pre-paid capacity at discounted rates. Rates depend on edition, cloud platform and region and are shown in the vendor's consumption table. VPS requires contacting sales. The vendor offers a free sign-up to start.
The pricing page does not list specific integrations. Snowflake runs on major cloud platforms, with region and platform chosen on the pricing page.
Google BigQuery is a serverless warehouse tied to Google Cloud, billed by query or slot. Databricks centers on a lakehouse and notebooks for data science and engineering, overlapping with Snowflake in analytics. ClickHouse is an open-source column store aimed at very fast real-time analytics, with a different cost model.
