Turso

What it is for

Turso is a hosted SQL-query desk: you open Query, and Free is $0 / month. Use it when the job is libSQL rows you inspect at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is the official Turso Query editor (select * from Product, 67×7 grid, name / logo / category / website columns) from the product still — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Query. Turso bills $0 or $5.99 / $29 / $499 tiles, not a chat seat.

Key features

• Query — a SQL editor plus the result grid (cover still; blog). One desk. Cover Product and the 67×7 grid sit here.
• Databases — a libSQL database you create (docs). A database, not a query. Groups / locations sit here.
• Branches — a copy you fork from a database (docs). A branch, not the primary. Isolated writes sit here.
• Embedded replicas — a local file you sync from Cloud (docs). A replica, not a branch. Sync GB sit here.
• Schema / ERD — tables you draw beside the grid (blog). A schema, not a replica. users / jobs sit here.

The Summary tab on the cover is a cut of Query (not a sixth desk). Free / Developer / Scaler / Pro tiles are the meter. Overage ($0.75 / GB on Developer) is the extra meter, not a desk we fold into Query.

Who it's for

Best fit: app teams who will stay on Free at $0 / month (100 databases, 5 GB, 500M row reads) while they open a first Query, then buy Developer at $5.99 / month ($4.99 yearly) or Scaler at $29 / month ($24.92 yearly).

Limitations / costs

• Free caps at 100 databases and 5 GB. Crossing that is the $5.99 Developer tile.
• $4.99 / $24.92 / $416.58 are yearly-equivalent tiles. Monthly list is $5.99 / $29 / $499.
• A libSQL query desk, not a Postgres branch you sleep. For Neon see Neon. For PlanetScale see PlanetScale.

Alternatives

• Neon — serverless Postgres when you want Neon’s branches, not Turso’s $0 / $5.99 Query grid.
• PlanetScale — Vitess MySQL when you want PlanetScale’s deploy requests, not Turso’s libSQL replicas.
• Upstash — Redis / QStash when you want Upstash’s KV, not Turso’s Product table.
