Facts checked against both vendors on September 28, 2026.
Julius is the pick if you want to chat with your data and get charts, reports, presentations and dashboards without writing code; individual plans run from $20 a month. Deepnote is the pick if you or your team write Python and SQL and need a real notebook with scheduling, git, dashboards and compute; it is $39 per editor a month on Team.
Unleash AI-driven data analysis with real-time insights and automated processing.
Julius AI and Deepnote both promise faster analysis with AI, and both connect to warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery and Postgres. The resemblance ends there. Julius is a chat-first workspace: you ask questions about files or connected data and it produces analyses, charts, reports and, on the same platform, presentations, websites, images and video. Deepnote is a collaborative notebook for Python and SQL with an AI agent that writes and runs code inside it, plus the operational features a data team needs to run notebooks in production. This comparison sets out what each is, what each costs as of September 2026, and who should choose which.
Julius describes itself as one AI workspace for analysis and creation. Its pricing page lists analyzing data and research with answers that carry citations, running analyses and visualizing results, generating reports and dashboards, creating presentations, building websites and web apps, and generating images and video. Usage is metered in credits, with daily refresh credits on paid plans. Data connectors include Google Drive, OneDrive and SharePoint on every plan, with Snowflake, BigQuery and Postgres from the Plus plan up, and Julius says it also supports MySQL and SQL Server. It builds a semantic layer of your warehouse schema, and you can upload a data dictionary, add DBT connection information, or train Custom Agents on your schemas. Scheduled runs are 3 on Plus and unlimited on Pro and above.
Deepnote is a notebook workspace for Python and SQL. Its docs describe SQL blocks alongside code and charts on a flexible canvas, 60+ data sources including Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, S3, GCS and Azure, and publishing notebooks as dashboards or Streamlit apps. AI features are Auto AI for writing and debugging code, a context-aware copilot, and the Deepnote Agent that creates and edits blocks, runs code and inspects outputs. It supports scheduled background execution, git sync with GitHub, GitLab, Azure Repos and Bitbucket, custom Docker images, configurable machines including GPUs, real-time collaboration, comments and code review.
Julius has a Free plan at $0 with daily free credits, Julius Lite models, and Google Drive, OneDrive and SharePoint connectors. Plus is $20 a month, or $16 a month billed yearly, with 2,000 credits a month, one seat, Snowflake, BigQuery and Postgres connectors and 3 scheduled runs. Pro is $45 a month, or $37 yearly, with 5,000 credits a month, an expanded context window, unlimited scheduled runs and priority email support. Max is $200 a month, or $166 yearly, with 25,000 credits a month, the most powerful models, a larger context window and permanent file storage. Business is $450 a month, or $375 yearly, with 60,000 credits a month, up to 50 team members, a shared workspace, a usage dashboard, centralized billing and unlimited Custom Agents. Enterprise adds SSO, audit logs and finer role-based access and is quoted by sales.
Deepnote's Free plan allows up to 3 editors, 5 projects, 7 days of revision history, 5 GB RAM and 2 vCPU machines with a 15-minute inactivity shutdown, 10 AI code completions and 5 agent calls a month, and unlimited viewers. Team is $39 per editor a month billed yearly (20 percent below monthly) with unlimited viewers and notebooks, 30 days of revision history, a 24-hour inactivity window, $39 of AI credits, $280 of CPU and $50 of GPU each month, scheduling, access controls, git sync and custom Docker images. Enterprise is custom with unlimited AI, editors and projects, single-tenancy, SSH tunnels and HIPAA.
Julius wins for people who do not want to write or read code. The chat produces the analysis, the chart and the report, and the same workspace turns the result into a presentation or a dashboard. That path from question to deliverable is the product, and it is why an operations manager or a marketer can use Julius without a notebook mindset.
It also wins on warehouse ergonomics for non-engineers. The semantic layer over large schemas, the data dictionary upload and Custom Agents let a business user ask a warehouse a question safely. The Business plan's 50 seats, shared threads and usage dashboard make it a team tool.
Deepnote wins when the analysis needs to be reproducible, versioned and operated. Git sync, custom Docker images, scheduled background runs, access controls and 60+ integrations are the difference between a chat transcript and a pipeline. The Team plan's $280 of CPU and $50 of GPU a month is real compute on machines you configure.
It also wins for teams that want AI inside code they control. The Deepnote Agent edits blocks and runs code in a notebook you can inspect line by line, which suits analysts who need to defend a result. Publishing to dashboards and Streamlit apps with free viewers, plus single-tenancy, SSH tunnels and HIPAA on Enterprise, complete the platform.
Pick Julius if you want answers and deliverables from data without coding, if your team mixes technical and non-technical people, or if you also need presentations and reports produced in the same place. Plus at $20 a month covers a single analyst with a warehouse connection; Business at $450 a month covers up to 50 people.
Pick Deepnote if you write Python or SQL, need scheduling, git and controlled compute, or must publish interactive apps, at $39 per editor a month on the yearly Team plan. The tell is whether you would rather read the code that produced a number or trust the chat that reported it.
