Cross-platform database IDE from JetBrains for SQL and NoSQL databases
Overview
DataGrip is a commercial, cross-platform database IDE from JetBrains that supports SQL and many database engines including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server and MongoDB. It provides context-aware SQL completion, schema navigation, query execution, version control for database scripts, and data editing tools within a single interface. DataGrip is sold via annual or monthly subscription with continuity discounts, and JetBrains introduced a free non-commercial tier in October 2025.
The honest half
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about DataGrip.
Cross-shopped
Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Answered, with sources
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
JetBrains introduced a free non-commercial license for DataGrip in October 2025, allowing personal use, while commercial use still requires a paid annual or monthly subscription.
SourceOnly individuals are eligible, for uses like learning, open-source work, or content creation. Anyone paid by an employer, including at a non-profit, must use a commercial license instead.
SourceIt lasts one year and auto-renews if DataGrip was used at least once in the final six months; otherwise you can simply reapply for a new license.
SourceNo, it is a full-featured IDE identical to the paid version, though it requires anonymized telemetry sharing that cannot be opted out of under the non-commercial agreement.
SourceNo, activation requires logging into a JetBrains Account; offline activation codes are not available for the free non-commercial license.

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for DataGrip, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
