The original title is "Data warehouse for startups: picking BigQuery or Snowflake"

Short summary

BigQuery is the best entry point for small startups: serverless operation, transparent $6.25/TiB pricing, and no cluster management. Snowflake trades operational simplicity for multi-cloud flexibility and stronger governance if you're willing to manage warehouse sizing. Databricks suits teams already running Spark pipelines or training models.

• •BigQuery offers simplest onboarding with serverless architecture and transparent per-terabyte pricing
• •Snowflake and Databricks lack published pricing but provide multi-cloud flexibility BigQuery cannot
• •Recommendation depends on team size, operational expertise, and cloud lock-in tolerance—not just cost
