We track 19 Analytics & Data tools, and every price below is verified against the vendor's public pricing page — no estimates, no affiliate ordering. Alternatives are ranked by transparent published pricing first, then by entry price.
Just data warehousing (no ML)? Pick Snowflake or BigQuery. Simple analytics for smaller data? DuckDB, ClickHouse, or Metabase + Postgres. ML/AI without lakehouse? SageMaker, Vertex AI, or Modal.
Entry price alone rarely decides a migration: check the per-seat step-ups, the DBU (Databricks Units) consumed caps, and how often each vendor has raised prices before switching away from Databricks.
