This guide explains Snowflake’s simple, usage-based pricing model. Customers pay only for what they use across storage, compute, and optional serverless features. Storage is charged per terabyte monthly, while compute costs depend on virtual warehouse size and time used, billed by the second. Snowflake editions—Standard, Enterprise, Business Critical, and Virtual Private Snowflake—add features and controls. Customers can choose on-demand or committed capacity purchasing. Automatic optimizations, transparent billing, and elastic scaling help lower total cost of ownership while providing flexibility, governance, and performance.
