    6.2 Free plan Visit site

The Community edition limits each model to 50 objects and omits advanced forward and reverse engineering, Git, and Collibra integrations. Workgroup costs €175 per user monthly or €1,750 annually. Alternatives differ in database scope and emphasis: some focus on one database, while others add query, migration, data management, or profiling tools. Compare which databases and modeling tasks matter, whether you need collaboration or offline work, and whether a broader database IDE or a narrower specialist better fits your workflow and budget.
