Managing cost in Snowflake
Effective Snowflake cost management is divided into three parts: visibility, control, and optimization. Visibility Visibility includes understanding the different sources of cost and the ability to explore that cost in detail.
Understanding overall cost
The total cost of using Snowflake is the aggregate of the cost of using data transfer, storage, and compute resources. Snowflake’s innovative cloud architecture separates the cost of accomplishing any task into one of these usage…

Understanding storage cost
The monthly costs for storing data in Snowflake are based on a flat rate per terabyte (TB). The amount charged depends on your type of account (Capacity or On Demand) and region (US or EU).
Introduction to cost anomalies
Snowflake uses an algorithm to automatically detect these cost anomalies based on prior levels of consumption, which simplifies the process of identifying spikes or dips in costs so you can find ways to optimize your spend. Snowflake also…
Exploring overall cost
Snowsight allows you to quickly and easily obtain information about cost from a visual dashboard.
Exploring compute cost
Users can use Snowsight to view the overall cost of compute usage for any given day, week, or month. To explore compute cost: Sign in to Snowsight. Switch to a role with access to cost and usage data. In the navigation menu, select Admin…
Understanding compute cost
Snowflake credits are charged based on the number of virtual warehouses you use, how long they run, and their size. Warehouses come in many sizes. In this table, the size specifies the compute resources per cluster available to the…
Attributing cost
An organization can apportion the cost of using Snowflake to logical units within the organization (for example, to different departments, environments, or projects).
