Frequently asked questions

Which query engines does Dune support?+

Dune supports DuneSQL, Trino and Snowflake. That spans its own query language along with several external data platforms, so a team can keep one analytics workspace rather than separate tools per source.

Does Dune have a free tier?+

Yes, Dune has a free tier. It suits developers who want to test a query against DuneSQL, Trino and Snowflake before committing budget, and it keeps a small dashboard project running at no entry cost.

How can developers get help with Dune?+

Dune support is available through email, help centre and community. The help centre carries self-service documentation, while email and community give developers other routes for questions and discussion.

Can Dune query Snowflake and BigQuery?+

Yes. Snowflake and BigQuery both appear in DuneSQL, Trino and Snowflake, joined by DuneSQL, Trino and Databricks. Those are query engines and data platforms rather than managed database instances, a different shape from the services in Kafka, PostgreSQL and OpenSearch.

How does Dune compare with the listed alternatives on engines?+

Dune's DuneSQL, Trino and Snowflake covers query engines and external warehouses. Aiven instead runs managed services in Kafka, PostgreSQL and OpenSearch, Heroku attaches PostgreSQL, Redis and Kafka, and UCloud provisions MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB.

What kind of team is Dune aimed at?+

Dune fits developers and small teams that want to analyse data sitting in several places. The free tier lowers the starting cost, and support arrives through email, help centre and community rather than a phone line.

Where do database category entry prices sit?+

Across the database category the median entry price is €4.38, with a lower quartile of €3.07 and an upper quartile of €9.05. A free tier keeps some options at the low end.
