DataGrip plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free (non-commercial) | Free | 1 | Entry tier |
| Individual - Year 2+ | $79/year | 1 | +$79/year, 1 more feature |
| Individual - Year 1 | $99/year | 2 | +$20/year, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full DataGrip feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
core
- Intelligent SQL Completion
- Schema Navigation
- Data Editor
- Multi-database Support
integration
- Version Control for Scripts
People bring DataGrip in for writing and running sql queries across multiple database engines, browsing and editing schema and table data visually, version-controlling database migration scripts, standardizing database tooling across a jetbrains-based team. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to DataGrip are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Database & Data Management
Too few database & data management tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| DataGrip (this page) | Free, then $8.25/month | subscription | - | |
| Timescale | $30/month | subscription | - | vs DataGrip |
| SurrealDB | Free | usage-based | - | vs DataGrip |
| MotherDuck | Free, then $250/month | usage-based | - | vs DataGrip |
| Ninox | On request | subscription | - | vs DataGrip |
| Grist | On request | subscription | - | vs DataGrip |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the DataGrip badges page.
Before you pay for DataGrip
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $99/year, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
DataGrip runs on windows, mac, linux, and is published by JetBrains s.r.o. of Prague, Czech Republic. The full record is on the DataGrip review, and the rest of the category is under best database & data management tools.
