Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "I have tried my own setup using my Gmail ID, and I think it had a $300 limit for free for a new user. That's what Google is offering, and we can register and create a project."
  • "BigQuery is inexpensive."
  • "One terabyte of data costs $20 to $22 per month for storage on BigQuery and $25 on Snowflake. Snowflake is costlier for one terabyte, but BigQuery charges based on how much data is inserted into the tables. BigQuery charges you based on the amount of data that you handle and not the time in which you handle it. This is why the pricing models are different and it becomes a key consideration in the decision of which platform to use."
  • "The price is a bit high but the technology is worth it."
  • "The price could be better. Usually, you need to buy the license for a year. Whenever you want more, you can subscribe to it, and you can use it. Otherwise, you can terminate the license. You can use it daily or monthly, and we use it based on a project's requirements."
  • "The solution is pretty affordable and quite cheap in comparison to PDP or Cloudera."
  • "BigQuery pricing can increase quickly. It's a high-priced solution."
  • "The pricing is good and there are no additional costs involved."
