Cloud data warehouse built for low-latency analytics on large datasets.
Usage-based managed pricing with per-second compute billing and pass-through storage pricing; free self-hosted Firebolt Core is also publicly described.
Firebolt publicly describes managed-service compute as billed per second, with scale-to-zero behavior and auto start/stop. Storage is billed separately on a pass-through object-storage basis. The official pricing page also mentions $200 free credits, and the comparison pages describe Firebolt Core as forever free and self-hosted. The supplied documents do not disclose a public monthly seat minimum, commitment discount, or renewal term, so those details are not publicly disclosed in the available sources.
Public materials describe it as forever free and without usage restrictions except building competing SaaS, but no seat-based or consumption price is disclosed.
Engines can scale up from S to XL and out across 1 to 256 nodes; concurrency can use up to 10 parallel clusters. Exact dollar amounts vary by configuration and region and are shown in the calculator rather than as a single universal list price.
Pricing is shown for object storage and the page notes it is pass-through at cost. No additional bundled storage allowance is publicly disclosed in the supplied documents.

Expected costStorage is priced at $0.0264 / gb · month, plus compute charges if engines are running.A startup wants to test Firebolt without committing to paid infrastructure.
Expected cost$200 free credits and a forever-free self-hosted Firebolt Core option are publicly described.No. The supplied official pricing page shows configuration-based engine pricing, per-second compute billing, and separate storage pricing instead of a single universal subscription fee. That means buyers should use the engine calculator or request a quote for a precise number. The public documents also indicate that Firebolt Core is forever free and self-hosted.
Yes. The official materials mention $200 free credits on the pricing page, and the comparison pages describe Firebolt Core as a forever free, self-hosted edition. The supplied documents do not provide an expiration period or eligibility details for the credits. They also do not describe a free trial length beyond the credit offer.
Compute is billed per second according to the official pricing page. The page also says engines can scale to zero and support auto start and auto stop, which suggests customers only pay for active compute time. Exact total spend still depends on the chosen engine size, node count, and region.
Storage is billed separately as pass-through object storage at $0.0264 / gb · month in the supplied official text. The pricing page frames this as compressed-size billing, so the amount of data stored is what matters, not the raw uncompressed footprint. Because the storage is pass-through at cost, underlying cloud storage charges can affect the final bill.
