Stop paying BigQuery per query.
Same SQL, terabytes in seconds.
BigQuery bills you for every byte a query scans, so one wide join can spike the invoice. GizmoSQL runs the same standard SQL at a flat, predictable cost in your own cloud or on-prem, on the open formats you control. Your data never has to live inside Google’s walls.

GizmoSQL vs BigQuery — FAQ
How much cheaper is GizmoSQL than BigQuery?
On the published, reproducible TPC-H 1 TB benchmark, GizmoSQL costs $0.17 per run versus $23.49 on BigQuery — about 138x cheaper — and finishes in 108.9 seconds versus 447.7 seconds. Real workloads vary, which is why there is a free 30-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What causes BigQuery bill shock?
BigQuery on-demand pricing bills roughly $6.25 per terabyte scanned. Recurring dashboards, wide joins, and the occasional SELECT * scan the same data again and again, so the invoice climbs with no change in value delivered — and finance usually sees it 30 days too late.
Do I have to leave BigQuery entirely?
No. Many teams keep BigQuery where it works and point GizmoSQL at just the expensive, scan-heavy workloads. Because GizmoSQL speaks standard SQL and reads open formats in place, moving a workload is a repoint, not a migration project.
Does my data have to leave my environment?
No. GizmoSQL runs in your own cloud or on-prem and reads Iceberg, Delta, and Parquet directly on your object storage. Your data and your keys never leave your infrastructure.
