Snowflake separates compute and data storage which allows you to add more compute during busy times and switch to a lower compute during off peak times. It is also considered to be a data warehouse that is not from a cloud provider(even thought it uses AWS underneath and managed by snowflake).

The company i work for use snowflake. Just like any cloud platform, you can run up the tab if wrongly configured and not optimized.
