Onehouse Cloud vs Starburst Data Platform

Onehouse Cloud is a managed lakehouse platform for analytics and AI that operates in a customer's virtual private cloud. It combines ingestion, compute, table services, query engines, and catalog synchronization for cloud-storage data. OneFlow incrementally writes Apache Hudi, Apache Iceberg, and Delta Lake tables. Quanton runs SQL, Spark jobs, and PySpark notebooks with autoscaling compute. Managed open-engine clusters support Trino, Apache Flink, and Ray. Automated table services are intended to improve query speed, with Onehouse stating results can be up to 10 times faster on tables. OneSync synchronizes metadata with Snowflake, Databricks Unity Catalog, Google Data Catalog, and AWS Glue. Onehouse says data remains in the customer's account and VPC, encrypted at rest and in motion. Project-level roles, audit logs, SOC 2 Type 1 and 2 certification, and PCI DSS compliance are listed. Usage-based billing uses Onehouse Compute Units, while cloud infrastructure is paid separately. A 30-day OneFlow trial includes $1,000 credit.

Starburst Data Platform is built on Trino and Apache Iceberg to provide governed access to distributed data across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. It can query data across 50+ sources in one SQL statement without copying it. Connectors span data lakes, warehouses, streaming systems, relational databases, and other sources, with features including parallelism, table statistics, dynamic filtering, and pushdown. Starburst Galaxy is available on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Galaxy controls include SSO, SCIM, service principals, role- and attribute-based access control, row filters, column masking, and end-to-end encryption. Starburst says Galaxy does not store customer data. Its free tier includes up to three clusters for ad hoc queries. The 30-day trial includes $500 in Galaxy compute resources and Enterprise features, then downgrades to the free tier. Paid plans start at $0.50 per credit; the listed Enterprise and Mission-Critical tiers start at $0.75 and $1.00 per credit. The Galaxy security page lists a 99.5% uptime SLA, 24/7 expert support, and a 30-minute response time.
