The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Firebolt compute billed per second on Arm-based processors; small instances still incur measurable costs during idle periods despite auto-stop; GanttPRO workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • They diverge on capability: Firebolt covers Sub-second Queries, GanttPRO covers Gantt charts.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Firebolt

  • Compute billed per second on Arm-based processors; small instances still incur measurable costs during idle periods despite auto-stop
  • Storage pass-through charged at $0.0264/GB monthly on compressed data; uncompressed storage could exceed this
  • Azure deployment currently in Preview status; production recommendations unclear
  • Vector indexes limited to float arrays; other data types require alternative indexing strategies
  • Free tier credits ($200) limited; no perpetual free tier for production use

GanttPRO

  • Workload management, portfolios, reports and budget planning all require the Business plan at $17 per user per month
  • SAML SSO, custom roles and API access are Enterprise only at $25 per user per month
  • The Enterprise plan carries a 5 user minimum and requires an annual subscription
  • Custom fields and calendar view are excluded from the entry Core plan
  • Every published rate assumes annual billing, which the vendor prices 20% below monthly
