About PopSQL
What is PopSQL?
PopSQL is a collaborative SQL editor designed to bring order to SQL chaos. It provides a shared workspace where data teams can write, organize, and run SQL queries together in real time — eliminating endless Slack questions, versioning headaches, and scattered query files.
Who is it for?
PopSQL is built for data analysts, engineers, and business intelligence teams who work with SQL daily and need to collaborate on queries and dashboards. It’s ideal for companies with 2–200+ editors who want to centralize data knowledge and reduce duplication. It is not for solo users who simply need a basic query runner — though the Free plan covers that too.
Key use cases
Teams use PopSQL for faster data exploration (with schema browsing and autocomplete), creating lightweight dashboards from SQL results, self-service analytics with query variables for business users, and pushing insights to Slack. It supports 10+ database providers including PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, MySQL, and more.
Why choose PopSQL?
Unlike traditional SQL tools, PopSQL focuses on team collaboration: real-time co-editing, inline comments, version history (up to 1 year on Business plan), and a shared data catalog. It integrates with dbt Core, Git, and Google Sheets for a modern analytics stack.
Key features
- Real-time collaboration — Co-edit SQL queries live with your team, leave inline comments, and avoid version conflicts.
- Centralized query repository — Organize queries in folders, search across all your team’s work, and reuse proven SQL.
- Schema browser & autocomplete — Explore your data model with pinned tables, descriptions, and intelligent SQL autocomplete.
- Interactive dashboards & charts — Turn query results into in-app charts and dashboards without leaving PopSQL.
- Self-service analytics — Let business users filter reports safely with query variables (date ranges, IDs, etc.).
- Version history & diffs — See who changed what, when, with the ability to revert — up to 1 year on Business plan.
- Slack integration — Push query results and dashboard snapshots directly to Slack channels.
