Cut your Snowflake bill
without a code change
Give us read-only access on Monday. By Thursday you'll know exactly where your Snowflake spend goes — and how much of it you can recover.
Your first report is free. No commitment, procurement, or invoice.
One engagement, measured
Where the $262,887 sits
Each band is a share of the total annual bill.
| Tier | $ / year | % of spend | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Committed — configuration only | $20,318 | 7.7% | Defend on the spot |
| Probable — subject to team decisions | $48,552 | 18.5% | Conditional |
| Probable + contract renegotiation | $74,841–101,129 | 28–38% | Commercial |
That engagement ran longer than three days, and every estate is different. The percentages travel further than the dollars — your free report shows what is realistic for yours.
What you get for free
Your spend, clearly mapped
Compute, storage, and cloud services reconciled to your invoice — not a rough estimate based on credit prices.
Recoverable savings
A realistic savings range, separated into immediate wins, decision-dependent opportunities, and contract levers.
Where to act first
The highest-value opportunities across idle compute, retention, warehouse sizing, and licensing.
What is already working
Clear confirmation of what's healthy, so your team can focus its time where it matters.
The free report shows the opportunity. The detailed register adds the exact changes, priorities, assumptions, and SQL behind every finding.
How it works
A 30-minute call, then read-only access to
SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE. Prefer not to share access? Run our SQL
yourself.
We analyse your account, with about an hour of input from your team for the questions only they can answer.
We present your free report live, answer questions, and explain the numbers rather than emailing a PDF to decode.
You choose what happens next. Implement the changes yourself, commission the detailed register, or ask us to help.
Secure by design
What we need
- A read-only role on
SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE— Snowflake's own account metadata for usage, storage, configuration and credit consumption. - No-access option: we send annotated SQL, you return CSVs. You control exactly what leaves your account.
What we don't touch
- Your tables, your data, your production workloads. No agent, no network access, and nothing we do can change state in your account.
- When we're done: revoke the role as soon as the report lands. Extracts are kept only for the engagement and deleted on request.
Numbers you can defend
Priced from your invoice
We reconcile every finding to billed dollars and validate storage against account totals — so the savings estimate stands up to scrutiny.
No hidden assumptions
If a number relies on an assumption, we say so. Every finding has a clear source and rationale.
Validated, not inflated
We challenge our own findings harder than you will. In our case study we called storage clean, then reversed it twice as the reconciliation closed — the final answer was a $5,800/year finding we would have missed by stopping early.
Built for your team to use
Most savings are configuration changes your platform team can make. In our case study the committed tier was six changes and one bug report — an afternoon's work. We can implement them, but the report is written so you don't need us to.
A clear-eyed assessment
Cost optimisation has trade-offs. We make them clear before you act.
You may already be well optimised
That is a good result. You get written confirmation that your platform team is running a disciplined Snowflake estate.
The free review is focused
It identifies the largest, clearest opportunities. Deeper cross-account analysis belongs in the detailed register.
Some savings need agreement
A code change, licence decision, or contract renewal may be required. That is why we separate immediate savings from conditional opportunities.
Retention savings have a cost
Reducing Time Travel saves money but shortens recovery windows. We identify reloadable data; your team makes the final call.
Idle-compute savings add wait time
Resuming a suspended warehouse takes 30–60 seconds. We flag where that is appropriate and where it is not.
Our recommendations are transparent
We can help implement changes, so every recommendation includes its evidence, assumptions, and expected impact. You can check our work.
Is this right for you?
- Best fit if your Snowflake bill is large enough that nobody can say off the top of their head where it goes. If you already know, you don't need us.
- Not ideal if you completed a thorough cost review in the last six months. Ask us what we would check that they did not — if there is no good answer, don't bother.
- You need to grant read-only access, or run our SQL internally.
