Here’s the difference between Superset and Starburst. The comparison is based on pricing, deployment, business model, and other important factors.
Apache Superset is an open-source software cloud-native application for data exploration and data visualization able to handle data at petabyte scale. The application started as a hack-a-thon project by Maxime Beauchemin while working at Airbnb and entered the Apache Incubator program in 2017.
For data-driven companies, Starburst offers a full-featured data lake analytics platform, built on open source Trino. Our platform includes the capabilities needed to discover, organize, and consume data without the need for time-consuming and costly migrations. We believe the lake should be the center of gravity, but support accessing data outside the lake when needed. With Starburst, teams can access more complete data, lower the cost of infrastructure, use the tools best suited to their specific needs, and avoid vendor lock-in. Trusted by companies like Comcast, Grubhub, and Priceline, Starburst helps companies make better decisions faster on all their data.
