What compute does COPY INTO use versus Snowpipe, and how does this affect cost?

Click to reveal answer

Answer

COPY INTO uses virtual warehouse credits (your configured compute). Snowpipe uses Snowflake-managed serverless compute credits. Snowpipe is not free — it accrues separate serverless credit costs. The key distinction: COPY INTO requires an active warehouse; Snowpipe does not.
