On-demand or Editions?

Biq Blue replays your last months of jobs under each pricing model, so you know which one would have been cheaper for your workload — per project, per user, per job.

On-demand vs slots

Which projects, users and jobs would cost less under slot billing, and which ones should stay on-demand.

Reservations sizing

Idle slots, autoscaling headroom and baseline: how much capacity you pay for without using it.

Storage model

Logical vs physical storage per dataset, and the tables nobody reads anymore.

Where your bill goes

Drill down from the total to the exact query, user or table behind each euro.

Costliest queries

The repeated and expensive queries, with partitioning, clustering and BI Engine suggestions.

Cost per user and service

People, service accounts, dbt runs, Looker Studio reports and Sheets connectors, each with its cost.

Alerts in Slack and Teams

Daily limits, cost spikes, lagging jobs and slot starvation, before they show up on the invoice.

Simple pricing

The first month is free, without a credit card. Then one plan, every feature included, cancel anytime.

Start

€150 / month

Flat rate, up to 30 BigQuery users.

Business

€6 / user / month

Above 30 BigQuery users. Users are the people and service accounts that ran a job last month.

Safe for your data

Biq Blue reads BigQuery metadata, never your tables.
