CloudBeaver is a web-based database manager from the makers of DBeaver that lets a team query and edit databases from a browser.

CloudBeaver Enterprise costs $205 per user per year with a 5-user minimum, so $1,025 a year, after a 14-day trial with no credit card.

The bottom line

Free browser SQL for teams that can host it; Enterprise is fairly priced once you need SSO and audit.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    One Docker command gets a server running; connections and users need admin setup.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    SSO, audit logs and the AI assistant need Enterprise at $205 per user per year.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: open source, and it works on your existing databases.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
