Data warehouses compared: prices and price hikes
Where a company's analytics data lives and gets queried: cloud data warehouses like Snowflake and BigQuery, lakehouses like Databricks, and fast real-time analytics databases like ClickHouse and Tinybird, compared on what the same warehouse workload costs at three sizes.
Prices at a 100 GB startup warehouse
- Google BigQuery: $8.32/mo
- Amazon Redshift: $92.40/mo
- Snowflake: $122.30/mo
- Databricks: $170.30/mo
Every price is the monthly cost, at on-demand list prices, of the same analytics workload in a US region: a startup warehouse with 100 GB stored and 2 TB scanned (or 60 compute-hours) a month as the headline, a 10 GB hobby project and a 1 TB growing company. Scan-priced products are priced on data scanned, compute-priced ones on hours of their smallest compute size, always-on ones for the full month, plus storage; permanent free tiers count, trials and credits do not.
