A comprehensive benchmark comparing five major cloud data warehouses (ClickHouse Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Redshift) across 1B, 10B, and 100B row datasets using real billing models. The analysis measures cost-performance by running 43 analytical queries and applying each vendor's actual compute pricing. Results show ClickHouse Cloud delivers significantly better cost-performance at scale, remaining fast and low-cost at 100B rows while competitors drift into slower, more expensive territory. The gap widens dramatically as data grows, with ClickHouse maintaining order-of-magnitude better value than alternatives.
