Estimated revenue
More than $250M annual run-rate revenue as of May 2026, according to ClickHouse; this is ARR/run-rate rather than audited annual revenue. A third-party company profile separately estimated approximately $50M–$60M annual revenue, so public estimates are inconsistent.

ClickHouse acquired Langfuse, an open-source LLM observability company, to enter LLM observability. The transaction was announced alongside the Series D financing; consideration was not disclosed.
SourceThe Series D priced ClickHouse at a reported $15 billion valuation, creating execution and valuation risk typical of a high-growth late-stage private company.
SourceClickHouse expanded into adjacent products and partnerships, including Microsoft OneLake integration and later managed Postgres; these broaden the opportunity but increase product and execution complexity.
