    GizmoSQL vs Snowflake — FAQ

    Is GizmoSQL really 16x cheaper than Snowflake?

    On the published, reproducible TPC-H 1 TB benchmark, GizmoSQL costs $0.17 per run versus $2.76 on Snowflake — about 16x cheaper, with comparable runtime. Real workloads vary, which is why there is a free 30-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

    Will my existing SQL, dashboards, and BI tools work?

    Yes. GizmoSQL speaks standard SQL over Apache Arrow Flight SQL, with JDBC, ADBC, and ODBC drivers, so Power BI, Tableau, dbt, and notebooks connect as-is. No re-platforming required.

    Where does GizmoSQL run?

    In your own cloud or on-prem — native binaries, Docker, or Kubernetes. It reads DuckDB, Parquet, Iceberg, Delta, and DuckLake directly on your object storage, so your data and keys never leave your infrastructure.

    Is GizmoSQL open source?

    The core is Apache 2.0 open source and free to run in production. GizmoSQL Enterprise adds security, scale, and governance features with simple per-vCPU pricing — and a free 30-day trial with an instant key.
