About
drawDB is a browser-based database schema editor for designing ER diagrams and generating SQL. It supports visual table creation, relationships, reverse engineering from DDL, and export to SQL, DBML, JSON, or images.
The free plan is intended for local use and does not require an account. It includes unlimited local diagrams, all SQL dialects, import and export for SQL/DBML/JSON, and templates. Paid plans add cloud storage, public sharing, AI assistance, live collaboration, diagram permissions, and team features.
- Unlimited local diagrams
- All SQL dialects
- Import and export SQL, DBML, JSON
- Templates and custom templates
- No account required
Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual, requires no account or credit card, and has no practical usage cap on local diagrams, so it delivers real ongoing value rather than a short trial. Compared with the cheapest paid Solo plan at $14/month, it covers the core local diagramming workflow and export/import needs, but leaves out cloud sync, sharing, AI, and collaboration, so a fair estimate is about $14/month.
