What it costs
DataCamp runs on a subscription — roughly $14/month billed annually (more month-to-month), with the first chapter of each course free to try. A certificate of completion is included with the subscription. Snowflake itself is a paid cloud service, though it offers a free trial with credits; practising beyond the course needs your own account.
