BigQuery has a generous 1TB/month free tier, and $6/tb afterwards. If you have small data, it's a pragmatic option, just make sure to use partitioning and sensible query patterns to limit the number of full-data scans, as you approach 'medium data' region.

There are some larger data-sizes, and query patterns, where either BigQuery Capacity compute pricing, or another vendor like Snowflake, becomes more economical.

    BigQuery offers a choice of two compute pricing models for running queries:

    On-demand pricing (per TiB). With this pricing model, you are charged for the number of bytes processed by each query. The first 1 TiB of query data processed per month is free.

    Queries (on-demand) - $6.25 per TiB - The first 1 TiB per month is free.
