A few differences:
- Snowflake is SaaS, Clickhouse isn’t yet
- Clickhouse is open source, Snowflake is proprietary
- Snowflake has the virtual warehouse concept and ability to scale compute up and down with a single SQL statement. Clickhouse is a bit more traditional in architecture.
- Snowflake is hella expensive
- Snowflake is a bit more of a traditional data warehouse, whereas Clickhouse is philosophically about powering through big datasets such as denormalised click stream or logs
Both great products for their respective use cases
