In their own words
CloudBeaver
CloudBeaver Enterprise is a browser-based application for managing multiple data sources through one interface. It supports SQL, NoSQL and cloud-native databases, with Cloud Explorer access to AWS, GCP and Azure databases. Its SQL editor includes formatting, autocomplete and syntax highlighting; users can also build queries visually with drag and drop. The Data Editor supports inline row edits, filtering, sorting, grouping and one-click exports, while integrated charts display results as pie, bar or line charts. AI integrations include OpenAI, Azure AI, Gemini and Copilot. MCP integration lets AI tools access schema metadata and run queries through existing connections. CloudBeaver can run on customer infrastructure, including via Docker Compose on Ubuntu, macOS and Windows. It supports multiple authentication methods, SSL-encrypted database connections and SSH tunnels with key authentication. The Enterprise annual subscription starts at $1,025 a year and includes updates and support during the subscription period. It covers one server and has a five-user minimum; a 14-day trial is available.
DBeaver
DBeaver is a database management product range that includes a free, open-source Community edition and paid editions. Community supports databases with a JDBC driver and can also work with external data sources that lack one. Its desktop tools include an SQL editor, spreadsheet-like data editing, a visual query builder, and tools for importing, exporting, comparing, and migrating data. DBeaver says its products connect to more than 100 sources, including SQL, NoSQL, and cloud databases. Ultimate adds native AWS, GCP, and Azure support with Cloud Explorer for cloud and on-premise databases. The wider range includes CloudBeaver Enterprise as a web-server application and Team Edition as a server platform with GraphQL and REST APIs, an MCP server, and a JDBC proxy driver. DBeaver supports Windows 10 or later, Windows Server 2016 or later, macOS 11 or later, and most modern Linux distributions. Community is free under Apache License 2. Paid individual subscriptions include Lite at $12 a month or $113 a year, Enterprise at $26 a month or $255 a year, and Ultimate at $51 a month or $510 a year.
