In my experience Athena on AWS beats Spark by an order of magnitude in terms of performance and price. Without the annoyance of having to start/stop/run a cluster. Snowflake is even faster than that since its storage is more optimized.

And Athena is an old fork of Presto, provided as a service; modern Presto e.g. Starburst is much faster than Athena, and cheaper if you use it much as Athena has usage fees not hosting fees.
