Why switch from BigQuery Studio?
BigQuery Studio works. Querylab.io makes you faster. Real-time completions from your actual schema, errors caught before you run, cost estimates on every query. The difference between functional and productive.
Can I try it before committing?
There is nothing to commit to — Querylab.io is free, including commercial use. No credit card, no trial timer, no seat count. The Playground lets you explore without even connecting BigQuery.
What makes Prism AI better than Cursor with MCP?
Cursor is great for code — but BigQuery needs more than text completion. Prism AI validates against your schema, catches errors before execution, estimates cost in real-time, and wraps it in a proper SQL IDE: results grid, history, exports. MCP connects AI to data. Prism builds a workflow around it.
How does it reduce BigQuery costs?
Development Mode samples data for 80–95% cheaper testing. Budget limits block runaway queries. Per-CTE breakdown pinpoints what's expensive. Smart recommendations for reservation vs. on-demand billing.
How long does it take to get started?
Two minutes. Sign in with Google, authorize BigQuery, start writing. No installation, no config, no onboarding calls. Schema loads automatically.
Is there a desktop app?
Yes — currently in beta for macOS (Apple Silicon). Credentials stay local in your OS keychain, native hotkeys, and Prism AI works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or OpenAI Codex.
