Hidden Costs and Considerations
While Firebolt's pricing page is transparent about the costs associated with each plan, there are some potential hidden costs to consider:
- Data transfer fees: If your team generates a large amount of data that needs to be transferred out of Firebolt, you may incur additional costs.
- Storage overages: While the Pro plan includes unlimited storage, if your team exceeds 100 GB of storage, you'll need to purchase additional storage at $0.10/GB/month.
- Custom implementation fees: If you require custom implementations or integrations with other tools, you may be charged a one-time fee.

| Amazon Redshift | 750 hours/month | Pay-as-you-go | varying amounts-hour |
| Google BigQuery | 10 GB of storage, 100 million rows | On-demand pricing | varying amounts-month |
