Frequently Asked Questions

PopSQL is a modern SQL workspace that combines the best features of a premium SQL editor and a powerful BI tool. Similar to BI tools, PopSQL supports data visualization through customizable dashboards and charts. Unlike a BI tool, PopSQL is designed for data professionals and is focused on fast, flexible data exploration.

PopSQL is built for all levels of SQL knowledge. Experts can quickly write and run queries for rapid, iterative, and unbounded exploration. Beginners can easily find and rerun existing queries with different parameters to create dashboards and charts 🙌

Just like BI tools, PopSQL supports all major data warehouses and databases. With shared connections, users can easily grant access to databases to approved users and maintain visibility into all activity.

Unlike expensive BI tools that come with opaque pricing and locked-in contracts, PopSQL has clear and flexible pricing. You only pay for editors. Viewers can access, comment, and share links to any query or dashboard for free. PopSQL customers have reduced costs by as much as 50% after switching from Mode.
