Alteryx raised its prices again, and for a small data team the maths stopped working: per-seat Designer licences, Alteryx Server on top just to run anything on a schedule, and a renewal that climbs every year. Refyner does the everyday part of that work in one tool on the Snowflake you already own – and we will migrate your top three workflows free, so you can check the claim before you decide.
A Designer licence builds workflows but cannot put one into production. Scheduling means Alteryx Server as well – a second licence, a second thing to administer, and a second line item on a renewal that has already gone up.
Build the pipeline and set a schedule in the same place. It runs as pushdown on your own Snowflake with run history and failure alerts. No server product, no specialist, and published pricing you can work out yourself.
Alteryx does not publish a single list price and quotes vary by seat count, term and region – so we have not invented one. Bring your renewal quote to the call and we will do the comparison on your actual numbers. Refyner's prices are the published ones on our pricing page.
Refyner is not an Alteryx clone. It is deliberately narrower, and it is worth being clear about the line before you migrate anything.
Joins, cleans and deduplication. Aggregations, calculated fields and filters. Type handling and pivots. Scheduled refreshes with run history and failure alerts. Everything as pushdown SQL on your own Snowflake, built visually or in SQL. For most small teams this is the bulk of what runs through Alteryx week to week.
Spatial analytics. Predictive modelling, machine learning and statistical suites. Complex workflows across sources that never land in a warehouse. Alteryx's wider connector estate. If that is the bulk of your work, keep Alteryx – we will tell you so on the call rather than after the migration.
Send us the three Alteryx workflows you run most. We rebuild them in Refyner on your own Snowflake, at no cost and with no commitment. Teams with Snowflake already in place are usually looking at working pipelines within hours, not weeks.
A screen share of the three you run most often, or the workflow files. Half an hour is normally enough to scope all three.
We connect a least-privilege Snowflake role you control and rebuild the logic in Refyner. You watch, or you get on with your day.
Compare the results against your Alteryx output row for row. If they match, set a schedule and it is in production.
Requirements: Snowflake already in place, and someone who can grant a scoped role. Workflows that depend on spatial or predictive tools are out of scope – we will say so before we start rather than part-way through.
"CX Data gave us a working data tool overnight – and the models were live in weeks."
"We get board-ready profit updates every morning – and never hired a data engineer to get them."

Your three most-used Alteryx workflows, rebuilt in Refyner on your own Snowflake, at no cost and with no commitment to buy. You keep the pipelines either way.
No. Scheduling is part of Refyner. A pipeline goes into production the moment you set a schedule, with run history and failure alerts – there is no second product to license or administer.
Spatial analytics, predictive and statistical modelling, and workflows across sources that never land in a warehouse. Refyner covers everyday pipeline needs: joins, cleans, aggregations, calculations, filters and scheduled refreshes.
Yes. Snowflake is a prerequisite. Refyner runs as pushdown on your own Snowflake account and has no engine of its own, so the migration offer applies to teams who already have it in place.
No. Transformations execute in your own warehouse as pushdown SQL. Refyner's control plane holds only configuration and metadata – see the security model and our DPA.
Hours, for teams with Snowflake in place – scoping and rebuilding three everyday workflows is usually a single session. Workflows with unusual sources or heavy custom logic take longer, and we will say so up front.
We rebuild them in Refyner on your own Snowflake, free. If Alteryx is the better tool for your work, we will tell you.
