Free for your local databases. $49 a year for the rest.
Download AddisDB and use it on any database running on your own machine — the whole client, every engine, forever, with no account and no card. A plan is for reaching databases beyond your machine and for tagging a connection prod.

Questions people ask before downloading
Is AddisDB really free?
Yes, and not as a trial. Every database running on your own machine is free forever — the whole client, every feature, every engine, with no account and no card. There is no row limit, no connection limit and no expiry. A paid plan is for reaching databases that are not on your machine.
What counts as a database on my own machine?
Anything on loopback (localhost, 127.x, ::1, 0.0.0.0, host.docker.internal or a *.localhost name), anything over a Unix socket, and any file-based engine — SQLite, DuckDB, CSV, Parquet, Excel, GeoJSON and the rest. A database in Docker on your laptop is local. A database on a server, in RDS, or behind an SSH tunnel is not.
Do I need an account to use the free tier?
No. Download it, open it, connect to a local database. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to, and the check runs offline — AddisDB never calls home just to let you connect.
Are any database engines locked behind a paid plan?
No. Every engine and data-file format is in every plan, including the free one — engines are never an upsell. The one practical limit is that a cloud-only service like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift or Cloud SQL has no local instance to point at, so connecting to one is by definition reaching beyond your machine and needs a plan.
Does the AI cost extra?
No. AddisDB AI is bring-your-own-key and it is included on the free tier. You paste your provider key once, it is stored in your OS credential store, and requests go straight from your machine to your provider — we never see the key, the prompt or the schema, and we do not meter it. You pay your provider for what you use and nothing to us.
What does a paid plan actually add?
Reach and governance. Personal ($49/year) adds remote hosts, cloud databases and SSH/SSM tunnels, the prod environment tag and its write guards, sync across your own devices, and up to 3 machines. Team ($99/user/year) adds shared connections, shared notebooks and free read-only viewer seats, and raises the machine limit to 5 per person. Business ($299/user/year) adds SSO/SAML, an audit log of every query, role-based access control and production-connection approvals.
Why does tagging a connection as production need a plan, even on localhost?
Because the prod tag is what turns on the write guards and the approval path, and that machinery is the paid part. Local, dev, test and staging tags stay free on a local database — only the prod tag asks for a plan.
What happens if my subscription lapses?
You drop back to the free tier and keep working. AddisDB does not lock you out or hold your saved connections hostage — local databases keep opening exactly as before, and the connections that needed a plan are the ones that stop. That is the point of having a real free tier underneath.
