Free trial
14 days of the full QueryDeck feature set. No credit card, no commitment.
For: everyone.
QueryDeck starts a 14-day free trial the first time you open the app. The trial is full-featured. You get the same QueryDeck a paying customer gets, for 14 days, with no card on file.
What the trial includes
Everything. Specifically:
- All three database engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite)
- SSL and SSH tunnels
- Query editor with autocomplete, history, snippets, saved queries
- Table Mode and inline editing
- Export to CSV, JSON, SQL
- ERD viewer
- CLI (
qdeck .) - Drift Mode and Fix execution
- MCP Server
- AI Assistant across all four providers (Foundation Models, OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama)
- Notebooks with PDF, HTML, and
.ipynbexport - Command Palette and keyboard shortcuts
No watermarks. No row limits. No nag screens beyond the trial badge.
The trial badge
A small badge in the top-right of the toolbar shows the days remaining. The badge is intentionally quiet. It is not a popup, not a banner, and it does not block your work. Click it to open the License settings tab.
What happens after day 14
Without a license key, QueryDeck enters read-only mode on the next launch:
| Feature | After trial |
|---|---|
| Open existing connections | ✅ allowed |
| Browse schemas and tables | ✅ allowed |
Run SELECT queries | ❌ blocked, with a paywall sheet |
| Edit data (inline edit, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) | ❌ blocked |
| Save queries, snippets, history | ❌ blocked |
| AI Assistant | ❌ blocked |
| Drift Mode preview | ✅ allowed |
| Drift Fix execution | ❌ blocked |
CLI (qdeck .) | ❌ blocked |
| MCP Server | ❌ blocked |
| Export results | ❌ blocked |
| Notebooks | ❌ blocked |
You won't lose any data. Your connections, history, snippets, and saved queries stay on disk. The moment you activate a license, everything you saved comes back without a re-import.
How to keep using QueryDeck
When the trial ends (or earlier if you've decided), buy a license at querydeck.app/buy.
- Standard at $79 — one-time payment, all your Macs, one year of updates.
- Lifetime at $149 — one-time payment, all your Macs, every future update forever.
A pre-launch promotion currently puts Lifetime at the Standard price. Check the buy page for the current offer.
Both plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee. If QueryDeck isn't right for you, write to us and we refund without questions.
Reset or extend the trial
The trial runs once per machine. We don't offer manual resets. If you have a legitimate reason to extend (long evaluation, team rollout), email us through the in-app feedback button and we'll work something out.
