Coalesce is the data operating layer where humans and AI agents build, govern, and observe data together, in one governed platform. - coalesce.io
Depends. Buy if you run a Snowflake-centric data platform with multiple engineers and budget for credit-based pricing. Skip it if you're a small team with simple pipelines — dbt Core or plain SQL does the job for free.

Loved for speed and ease, pricey via credits; great for Snowflake teams, overkill for small shops (use dbt).
