SELECT

The definitive platform for optimizing and managing data cloud environments at scale

Overview

A Message From Our Founders

SELECT emerged from a clear reality we observed while building and scaling data platforms: as organizations increasingly bet their future on data, they need comprehensive solutions to manage the complexity and cost of their data infrastructure, wherever it runs.

Drawing from our experiences leading data teams at Capital One and Shopify, and consulting with Fortune 500 companies, we saw firsthand how the right tooling could transform the way teams operate. In 2022, we founded SELECT to give data teams one place to understand and optimize their data cloud spend, starting with Snowflake and expanding to Databricks and BigQuery as our customers' platforms grew.

Today, SELECT is the cost intelligence platform for every data cloud: usage, performance and cost in one place across Snowflake, Databricks and BigQuery. We help organizations maximize the value of their data investments with automated savings, workload-level visibility, flexible cost allocation and proactive monitoring, so teams can focus on building rather than chasing their bill.

Frequently asked
questions

What is SELECT?

SELECT is a data cloud cost intelligence platform that gives teams deep visibility into their Snowflake, Databricks and BigQuery usage and the tools to manage and optimize that spend in one place.

Which data platforms does SELECT support?

SELECT supports Snowflake, Databricks and BigQuery. You can connect one platform or several, and see usage, performance and cost across all of them from a single account.

How much money can SELECT save me?

SELECT typically helps customers reduce their Snowflake, Databricks and BigQuery costs by 20-40% through automated savings, optimization insights, cost allocation and usage monitoring.

How much does SELECT charge?

We offer flat rate pricing tailored to your data cloud usage, at 4% of your annual data cloud spend. Snowflake customers can pay with their existing Snowflake credits. Chat with our team to learn more.

What type of access does SELECT need to my account?

SELECT requires read only access to your platform billing and usage metadata (for example Snowflake account usage views or Databricks system tables). We do not access any of the actual company data stored in your warehouse or lakehouse.

How long does onboarding take?

Customers can get up & running on SELECT in less than thirty minutes. During our 14-day free trial, we will get you fully onboarded into the platform in 1 hour with cost allocations, anomaly alerts, and our Automated Savings feature up & running.

Can I use SELECT with multiple accounts or workspaces?

Yes. SELECT supports multiple Snowflake accounts (up to 100), multiple Databricks workspaces and multiple BigQuery projects within a single organization, with costs allocated across all of them.
