Testimonials

What our clients say

What used to take us hours of manual clean-up across dozens of Excel files is now a seamless process. The Snowstack team didn't just give us technology – they gave us our time back. We now build better reports much faster, and can finally think about predictive analytics as a reality, not just a wish. They felt like part of our team from day one.

Head of Sales Intelligence

Having a dedicated Snowflake team that truly understands our platform made all the difference. We no longer chase incidents or firefight pipeline issues – we’re focused on enabling the business. Their ownership, responsiveness, and expertise elevated our data platform from a bottleneck to a strategic asset.

Senior Director, Data Platforms

Working with Snowstack was a game-changer. Their team came in with a clear methodology, deep Snowflake expertise, and zero handholding needed. We didn't have to move a muscle in-house – they brought it all, tailored it to our business, and delivered fast.

CTO, Regional Pharma Distributor

Over the years, our BI teams developed an effective approach to data modelling, which had long been a strength. However, with the ongoing migration of the central data warehouse to Snowflake, we knew that adopting new tools could take months, if not years. We urgently needed support from Snowflake professionals to guide the adoption process and help our BI teams incorporate the new technology into their workflows.

FAQs

Answers to common questions about how we price senior Snowflake work, from the first assessment to an ongoing platform team.

Free consultation
Why does every engagement start with an assessment?

Because pricing a large engagement before anyone has looked at your platform is guesswork, and guesswork is how projects run over budget. The assessment maps your sources, definitions, and architecture, then shows where your reported numbers diverge from the underlying data. You make the bigger decision with evidence, not a pitch.

What do we get for the $30,000 assessment?

A current-state map of your Snowflake data, integrations, and cloud architecture, a source-to-report reconciliation, a gap analysis ranked by business risk and effort, and a delivery plan with scope, sequence, and owners. The reconciliation is usually the part leaders remember, because it shows exactly which numbers can and cannot be trusted.

Is the assessment fixed price or time and materials?

Either. Fixed price suits teams that need a firm number for budget approval. Time and materials suits teams with a less defined scope who want to pay only for the work performed. We agree on the model during the free consultation, before any work starts.

Do we have to sign a retainer after the assessment?

No. The delivery plan is yours to keep, whether you execute it with us, with your own team, or with another partner. Most clients continue with us because the people who ran the assessment already know their platform, but that is a choice, not a condition.

What are blended seniority hours in Platform Team as a Service?

Each tier includes a monthly pool of senior engineering hours drawn from the mix of roles your platform needs, such as architects and data engineers. You buy dedicated capacity, not individual timesheets. The pool covers maintenance, monitoring, and governance, plus optimization and new integrations on higher tiers.

Who will actually work on our account?

Senior engineers only, on every tier. Growth adds a named senior lead on your account, and Enterprise adds a dedicated senior architect and a Service Level Manager. The people you meet in the sales process are the people who do the work: no bait and switch, no juniors learning on your platform.

Is there a discount for annual billing?

Yes. Yearly billing saves roughly 8% compared to paying month to month, on any Platform Team tier. It suits teams with a stable platform roadmap who want predictable spend for the year.

Does your pricing include Snowflake credits?

No. Snowflake bills you directly for compute and storage, separately from our fees. Keeping that bill under control is part of how we work: cost monitoring, warehouse right-sizing, and guardrails are built in, so spend stays predictable as your data grows.

How does your pricing compare to large consultancies?

Large consultancies often price multi-month transformations up front and staff them with a senior sales team and a junior delivery team. We start smaller, with a fixed-scope assessment, and keep senior engineers on the work from day one. You pay for accountability and outcomes rather than headcount.
