Snowflake pricing

By Lars Cornelissen · Published 6 Sep 2026 · Last verified 5 Oct 2026 · How these numbers are produced

What do public agencies pay for Snowflake?

$70,593.04 – $194,682.58 typical award, across 10 awards for licence and renewal purchases

Full range $44,764.55 to $314,963.1, median $99,500, over 1 Aug 2021 – 30 Sep 2026; vendor list price $2 / USD per credit.

These are contract totals for one award each — what an agency was awarded, for the scope its description states — not a price per licence, and not comparable with the vendor’s list price, which is a different kind of number (why the distinction matters).

Public agencies have awarded 17 contracts naming Snowflake, from $44,765 to $314,963, each traced to a USAspending record. 10 of them are licence or renewal purchases, and those are the records the figures above are computed from. A contract total bundles scope, term and reseller margin, so it is not a rate for the next purchase.

Each bar is one Snowflake award, ordered by award date; hover a bar for its award ID. Every bar is a contract total (obligated), so height reflects the scope of that Snowflake purchase, not a unit price. The vendor list price is a per-USD per credit figure and is not drawn on this axis.
  • This page rests on 17 public contract awards from 9 awarding agencies.
  • The figures below are computed from 10 licence and renewal awards; the other 7 records are services, training, support-only or multi-product buys and do not move them.
  • The lowest observed award is below the median by a factor of 2.2, and the highest is 7.0 times the lowest.
  • 5 of 17 awards (29%) come from Department of Health and Human Services.
  • The most frequent recipient across these awards is NEW TECH SOLUTIONS, INC., on 6 awards (35%).
  • The records span 2021-08-01 to 2026-09-30.
  • Median award across this file: $99,500; total obligated across all 17 awards: $1,440,860.97.

Price summary

$2 / USD per credit Vendor list price (list_price)

Snowflake Inc.’s own published price. Source, captured 2026-10-05. Comparable only with other list prices.

$44,764.55 Lowest observed public contract (contract_total)

The smallest of the 17 Snowflake awards on file — one data point, not a unit price.

$314,963.1 Highest observed public contract (contract_total)

The largest Snowflake award on file. It bought the work its description states, not “a Snowflake licence”.

These three figures are not comparable with each other, and the type next to each number is the point: the USD per credit list price is Snowflake Inc.’s own unit price, while the contract totals describe different scopes of work bought by different agencies.

Each row appears only because its own description names Snowflake — never because a vendor or reseller was named. Matches scoring below 0.8 were dropped and counted rather than guessed, so this Snowflake table is a floor on what the record shows, not a total.

Hidden-cost patterns in the descriptions

These 14 recurring cost items are quoted from the Snowflake award text itself, each with the record it came from. None of them is a Snowflake price — they are the costs that sit alongside the subscription.

What to watch at renewal

No supported facts were provided in the evidence.

Sources and method

This Snowflake file rests on 17 US federal contract awards running from 1 Aug 2021 to 30 Sep 2026, awarded by 9 agencies, most often Department of Health and Human Services. Every row links to its own record on USAspending.gov, which is where the amount and date come from. The rules for matching a product, narrowing with classification codes, and labelling each amount by type are on the methodology page.

What this Snowflake page does not claim. No award here is a price for a Snowflake licence, the figures are not comparable across rows, and the file is not complete — it covers what the pipeline could match confidently, with everything discarded recorded in rejected.json. Only Snowflake Inc. can quote Snowflake.
