Our take
Pick ClickHouse if analytics teams who will burn the $300 / 30-day credits on a first SQL Console, then stay on Basic at $0.2181 / compute-unit / hour + $25.30 / TB / month when the warehouse must stay up. Pick Tinybird if app teams who will buy Developer at the printed $49/month (0.5 vCPU, 25 GB) while they publish a first Pipe, then talk to sales for SaaS when they need up to 32 vCPUs and 500 GB.
