Cut Your Warehouse Bill in Half
Our engineers migrate your Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, or Postgres workloads to GizmoSQL on a 30-day done-with-you sprint — and cut your compute bill by at least 50%, or you don’t pay for the sprint.
Mid-Year Escape Promo
Sign your Scope Schedule by June 30, 2026: take $8,000 off your Migration Sprint (just $17,000) and lock your license rate at $300/vCPU/yr.
The Half-Bill Guarantee
1. We baseline your bill
Send us last month’s Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift or Postgres invoice. We agree in writing on the workloads in scope and your current compute run-rate.
2. We migrate you in 30 days
A named senior engineer works alongside your team to move those workloads onto GizmoSQL — self-hosted in your cloud or managed by us.
3. Your bill drops 50%+
We measure the new run-rate against the baseline. If it isn’t at least 50% lower, you don’t pay for the sprint — and we keep tuning free.
The Half-Bill Guarantee: for the workloads we migrate together, we cut their compute run-rate by at least 50% versus a baseline we set with you in writing — or we keep tuning free until we do, and if we still can’t, your Enterprise license is refunded.
We staff every sprint with a named senior solutions engineer, so we cap guaranteed sprints at 6 per quarter.

Why GizmoSQL costs a fraction of a cloud warehouse
The same queries, the same SQL — without the credit-metered markup.
Single-VM compute, not per-credit pricing
Warehouses bill by credit/DBU/slot and mark compute up heavily. GizmoSQL runs the same analytic SQL on one right-sized VM with DuckDB + Arrow — pennies of raw compute per query.
Right-sized, not always-on overprovisioning
No idle warehouses or auto-suspend roulette. You run the capacity you need, and scale concurrency horizontally by adding nodes behind Kubernetes.
Open formats — no lock-in tax
Apache-2.0 core and open table formats (Parquet, Iceberg, DuckLake). You stop paying the premium that comes with proprietary storage and egress.
Drop-in, low switching cost
Standard SQL + Flight SQL/ADBC/JDBC means your existing stack connects on day one. We migrate the workloads; you keep the tools.
Trusted in Production
GizmoSQL powers critical data infrastructure for teams that left their warehouse behind.
As a startup building a decision-grade AI platform for strategic planning, we process analytical workloads that demand both performance and reliability. After evaluating our options, we chose GizmoSQL to run our DuckLake compute engine in production. What sets GizmoSQL apart is the partnership. When we came to Phil with enterprise requirements—token authentication, enhanced logging, and query timeout support—he worked closely with us to deliver them. His responsiveness has been equally impressive. Whether fielding questions or shipping fixes for issues we’ve encountered, Phil consistently delivers with quick turnarounds. That kind of support is invaluable for a fast-moving team. Since partnering with GizmoData, we’ve gone live in production with one of our primary customers. GizmoSQL has become a critical part of our infrastructure, and we look forward to continuing the partnership.
GizmoSQL fits right into our stack — performant, flexible, and reliable. It’s a key piece of how we deliver unified observability at Randoli.
Cutting your warehouse bill — FAQ
How does GizmoSQL cut my Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery bill?
GizmoSQL runs your SQL on a single, right-sized cloud VM using DuckDB and Apache Arrow — instead of paying per credit (Snowflake), per DBU (Databricks), or per byte/slot (BigQuery). The full 22-query TPC-H benchmark at 1 TB runs in under 2 minutes for about $0.17 of compute, and most real workloads drop 50–90% versus the warehouse run-rate.
Is the savings actually guaranteed?
Yes — the Half-Bill Guarantee. Our engineers migrate your in-scope workloads and cut their compute run-rate by at least 50% versus a baseline we set with you in writing, or you don’t pay for the migration sprint.
Do I have to rip out my current tools?
No. GizmoSQL speaks standard SQL plus Apache Arrow Flight SQL, ADBC, and JDBC, and works with dbt, Iceberg, DuckLake, and S3/GCS/Azure. Your dashboards, notebooks, and queries come along — there are no proprietary storage formats and no vendor lock-in.
Can I keep my data in my own cloud?
Yes. Self-host GizmoSQL in your own cloud so your data and your keys never leave your infrastructure, or let GizmoData host it for you. Same engine either way.
What does GizmoSQL cost?
GizmoSQL Core is free and open-source (Apache-2.0). Enterprise is $300 per vCPU per year — typically under 2% of the bill it replaces. The done-with-you Migration Sprint is a fixed fee that is refunded if we don’t hit the 50% cut.
