Cost - satyamsingh1004/snowflake GitHub Wiki

  • The total cost of using Snowflake is the aggregate of the cost of using data transfer, storage, and compute resources.

Compute Resources

  • There are three types of compute resources that consume credits within Snowflake:
    • Virtual Warehouse Compute
    • Serverless Compute
    • Cloud Services Compute: Usage of the cloud services layer is charged only if the daily consumption of cloud services resources exceeds 10% of the daily warehouse usage.

Storage Resources

  • The monthly cost for storing data in Snowflake is based on a flat rate per terabyte (TB). Cost varies depending on your type of account (Capacity or On Demand) and region (US or EU)

Data Transfer Resources

  • Snowflake does not charge data ingress fees to bring data into your account, but does charge for data egress.
  • Snowflake charges a per-byte fee when you transfer data from a Snowflake account into a different region on the same cloud platform or into a completely different cloud platform. This per-byte fee for data egress depends on the region where your Snowflake account is hosted.
