If Beekeeper doesn't make your work faster and easier within 30 days, I will refund 100% of your purchase, no questions asked.
Let me tell you why I offer this guarantee to you. Firstly, Beekeeper Studio works. It's built to streamline your workflow, cut down context switching, and save you time. That's why I still use it every day.
Secondly, Beekeeper Studio isn't some faceless company. It's an independent, people-first business that values trust and transparency. That's why so much of our code is open source, and why we care about offering best-in-class support.
It's simple: Buy a license, add Beekeeper to your workflow, and see the difference. If it doesn't improve your productivity, just ask for a full refund anytime in the first 30 days.

Guys, WOW,
I have been using the AI to interact with my database today and I am thoroughly impressed.
I am genuinely curious about how you managed to make it generate queries so quickly and accurately.
Ive been asking some pretty complex questions but still, all my inquiries got a response. Freaking dope
We’ve used a ton of database IDE’s over the years. To have this consistent, clean and elegant interface in any operating system saves time and money throughout the development process. Highly recommend you give a try.
I use this BD client every day, and it’s been a great experience. The user interface is sleek and easy to navigate, and the performance is top-notch—everything runs smoothly without any hitches. The best part, however, is the excellent support team that’s always quick to resolve any issues. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient BD client!
I was looking for easy interface alternative for TablePlus and I ended up in finding BeeKeeper. Its awesome lightweight and full of features. Loved it!!
I just love this tool and instantly brought the pro version after trying it. Fast, multi platform as I use Mac and Linux. Supports various different dbs. And is open source and more importantly cares about what its users want and not some management
I never truly understood how model design works until I started using this to query and view database! I am grateful for this in my journey. I recommend it for someone learning Django + sqlite since that is only what I have used it for so far.
Beekeeper Studio is BY FAR the most user-friendly DB GUI out there! I started using it a year ago and now our whole team bought a license. The multi-DB support is simply awesome as I use 4 different types of databases on a regular basis. Plus it works on Windows and Mac.
I’ve used many different DB clients over the past 10 years but they were all lacking in some regard so I gave a Beekeeper a try and I immediately knew that this is the one. Beekeeper is so much better than any other client that its not even close. Clean and modern UI, fast, intuitive. It has made my development a lot easier and faster.
Being a Linux user, you get your selection of DB client tools like DB Visualizer with cutting edge UI / UX experiences fresh from ’90s built on Java. With Beekeeper Studio, Linux is a first class citizen with a native app that is beautiful, lightweight, full featured and fast. Best DB tool on Linux by a country mile.
I’m new to database management. Having a tool like BeeKeeper Studio is very helpful to me, as I’m learning on how to use this tool. I used other software in the past. They were not as flexible as this one, and sometimes, there was no mac version.
I found the tool very well designed and easy to use.
Migrated from dbeaver. Mainly due to simple and intuitive GUI interface. Such a simple and powerfull tool.
Beautiful, fast, clean, logical.
Fabulous tool, the most practical IDE I’ve found to date for Postgres and MySql db admin - it just works, no fuss :-)
Our efficiency for managing our SQL code is a 2-3x improvement using Beekeeper compared to before.
I’m not sure I know what we would be doing without Beekeeper, probably coming up with file based sharing system with checkout permissions on a SharePoint which would be amazingly painful.
Unlike pgAdmin, Beekeeper is remarkably simple to use yet not lacking in features–and the price is right! The database backup feature is particularly useful. Just great software.
Switched from DBeaver - absolutely in love with Beekeeper Studio’s zen-like interface! The multi-tab workflow and quick table editing save me hours weekly. It’s the SQL client that sparks joy while managing databases 🐝✨
this is awesome and very useful to me 😎🔥🔥
I chose this program after years of using phpMyAdmin—it feels like stepping into a world of higher quality; here, I truly felt that the user is genuinely cared for. The concept itself, the implementation, the practical experience—I am sincerely grateful to Matthew for all of it.
Beekeeper studio is by far the best free tool I’ve used for db navigation. It handles querying and DDL exploration with ease, and the whole experience is just a breeze.
oh hell yeah! hands down the fastest patch from a report I’ve ever filed. just another reason why I tell anyone who will listen to use beekeeper. thanks!
If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
Manage existing licenses in the license management portal.
Yes, it’s very feature full and robust. We take a lot of pride in making sure that Beekeeper Studio is
accessible to everyone, not just people who can pay. Everyone deserves good software.
Honestly, there’s a good chance you can use our free version and never need to buy the paid version of Beekeeper Studio, but shh, don’t tell our accountant.
You can learn more about how awesome the Community Edition is, or even read our thoughts on why we make it so good in the first place.
Whether you choose an annual or a monthly subscription plan for Beekeeper Studio, you’re eligible for a lifetime usage license. This means you gain perpetual access to any version of Beekeeper Studio released within your subscription period, allowing you to use the software indefinitely without any additional payments.
Annual subscribers get lifetime access right away
Suppose you start an annual subscription on March 10, 2021. You’ll receive a lifetime license for any version of Beekeeper Studio released until March 10, 2022. Even if your subscription ends, you can continue using any of these versions forever.
Monthly subscribers get lifetime access after 12 months
If you opt for a monthly subscription and complete 12 consecutive months, the same benefit applies. For example, if you begin your monthly subscription on March 10, 2021, and maintain it through February 2022, you’ll have lifetime access to versions released during this period.
More details are available on our support page
Yes, for teams of 10 or more. We can arrange a 3 year term paid up front: one payment, no subscription to renew, and lifetime access to every version released during your term. Talk to us and we’ll set it up, invoicing included. For smaller teams the yearly plan is the closest thing: pay for 12 months and you keep lifetime access to those versions whether or not you renew.

Yes. Beekeeper Studio is open source. View the source on GitHub.
We charge money for some features and databases because making good software is expensive and we’re in it for the long haul.
We would love to….but open source projects without a clear sustainability plan are quickly abandoned, regardless of the good intentions of the maintainers.
We think a fully open core with paid extras is the best model for long term sustainability. So far it’s working - we’re stable and profitable with a full time team. We make a lot of features open & free, probably more than we should financially (shh, don’t tell our accountant).
No. There’s one app download, available here. Paid features can be enabled within the app with a free trial or paid license. Your data is safe when switching between different editions.
By you, our customers. We don’t have investors, corporate overlords or rich parents. Beekeeper started in 2019 and was funded by sweat equity for several years until we launched our paid plans in 2022. We’re now a stable and profitable company, thanks to you.
No. We use AI coding tools responsibly, making sure there’s always a real software engineer who owns the code end-to-end. We have no AI mandates or other nonsense.
Yes. Our app has full feature parity across MacOS, Windows, and Linux. No OS is an afterthought.
2019 was the first commit into the Beekeeper Studio repo, we soft launched a year later in 2020, and it’s been non-stop growth since then. I guess other developers wanted an easy-to-use database manager too :-).
