Do I need to purchase a separate product / license to use Snowflake Cortex? How is it priced?

You can use all the LLM functions without any additional subscriptions or agreements. This applies even to free trial accounts.

• Pay-per-use model: You only pay for what you use. Snowflake credits are used to cover the cost of LLM functions. These functions are priced based on the number of tokens processed for each task.
• Transparent pricing: Snowflake's documentation provides a clear table showing the cost per 1 million tokens for each LLM function, so you can easily estimate your usage costs.
