4.3
Overview
Starburst Galaxy is a fully managed data lake analytics platform designed for large and complex data sets in and around your cloud data lake. It is the easiest and fastest way for you to start running queries at interactive speeds across data sources using the business intelligence and analytics tools you already know.
Starburst Galaxy takes just minutes to set up and takes care of the heavy lifting of designing, provisioning, maintaining, and securing your Trino infrastructure. In addition, Galaxy offers proprietary features such as fully managed connectors, global search, schema discovery, monitoring and metrics, and data sharing with data products that allow your data teams to focus on generating unique insights from your data - not managing and building analytics infrastructure.
Highlights
- Simplicity - Starburst Galaxy lets you discover, govern, and prepare your data from a single, fully-managed platform. Future-proof your architecture with a single point of access and governance to all your data, including RBAC and ABAC capabilities.
- Scalability - Built on top of a query engine designed to run at internet-scale, Starburst Galaxy automatically scales your infrastructure to the needs of your workload in just a few clicks.
- Optionality - Starburst Galaxy works with any data storage and table format, so you never have to worry about locking yourself into a proprietary data ecosystem.

Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Description | Cost/month |
|---|---|---|
Standard Tier | Pay as you go | $0.00 |
Dimension | Cost/unit |
|---|---|
Usage fee | $0.01 |
Dimensions summary
This listing bills through two contract dimensions. The Standard Tier uses pay-as-you-go pricing, so your cost tracks the compute you consume for analytics workloads. The Usage fee dimension applies charges based on measured usage. Both dimensions scale with how much you run rather than a fixed seat or server count. Query efficiency, workload isolation, and reduced data movement all lower how much usage you accrue. You are not choosing between fixed tiers here; you commit under contract and pay according to actual consumption over the term.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Cost tracks the compute you consume for analytics workloads. You pay based on how much you query and run, not a fixed seat or server count. Improving query efficiency, isolating workloads, and reducing data movement all lower the compute you accrue, which lowers your bill.
Charges follow compute consumption for analytics workloads. When you run fewer or lighter queries, you accrue less usage and pay less. Because pricing is usage-based, idle periods with no active compute do not add the same charges as heavy query activity over the contract term.
Both dimensions bill on consumption rather than fixed quantities. The Standard Tier applies pay-as-you-go pricing tied to compute used, while the Usage fee charges against measured usage. Your total reflects actual analytics activity over the contract term rather than a preset seat or server commitment.

Accurate Data Insights with a Smooth Databricks Migration
Reviewed on Oct 14, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Love the added intelligence layer over the data that just not hallucinates and gives the right insights on the same and the Databricks migration is also very smooth.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downside is that it takes some time to understand the concepts and configure it for the users who are new to data and query engines. Better Documentation can also be really helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major thing about Starburst that I like is analysing the data, which is spread into multiple sources like data bricks or SQL. The data discovery part of it is really helpful when you try to query it across distributed systems.

Straightforward UX and Claude Chrome Integration That Boosts Productivity
Reviewed on Oct 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
As a developer, I’m always looking for new AI-powered software and products. This tool helps me evaluate new options and use them based on our needs. I like the UX because it’s straightforward. It’s also very easy to integrate with Claude Chrome, where I can use an agent to filter out the software I want to review. Overall, it has improved my productivity and performance. From an ROI perspective, it’s been one of my best investments and has been a real support in my research.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I haven’t found any downsides. I can’t really think of anything negative to point out. It works great for my work and what I need it for, so I’ve never had any complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Starburst addresses the challenge of accessing, managing, and analysing data spread across multiple sources, without requiring everything to be moved into a centralised data warehouse. Many organisations struggle with data silos, slow queries, complex integrations, and high infrastructure costs. Built on Trino, Starburst enables fast, distributed SQL analytics across data lakes, databases, and cloud platforms, helping teams work with their existing data and get insights from it more efficiently.

No Migration Needed—Instant Queries and Analytics with Starburst Services
Reviewed on Oct 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
that no data migration is required in central warehouse. Directly, starburst services can be used and data can be instantly query and analyze where it is stored.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unpredictable cost, UI is not so much user friendly and one more thing is when any issue occurs, its pretty much difficult to troubleshoot. Performance and integration is okay but can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Queries multiple multicloud and onprem sources simultaneously benefiting in no more waiting weeks for engineering teams to build new pipelines. Secondly, accessing raw data feeds directly at the source in real time helps in faster decision making.

Effortless Data Querying Across Multiple Sources
Reviewed on Oct 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use Starburst Galaxy to run SQL queries across different data sources with ease. I love how it allows me to join data from separate systems in a single query without having to move or duplicate the data first. The connectors are incredibly beneficial, connecting several sources and enabling me to query them together. They are also easy to set up, especially when adding a source in Galaxy, which requires very little configuration. Connecting to object storage was straightforward for me, and the built-in query editor is a feature I use the most, as it lets me write and run SQL directly without needing a separate client.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost. Because billing is usage-based, it's hard to predict what I'll pay in a given month, which makes it difficult to budget as an individual user. Clearer cost estimates up front would help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Starburst to run SQL queries across different data sources without needing to move or duplicate data, saving steps in the process.
