Raw Query lets you chat with Postgres, MySQL, and MariaDB using plain English instead of writing SQL by hand. Paste a database connection string, ask questions like who joined your Pro plan last week, and Raw Query returns answers or CSV exports from a browser or mobile device.

Compared with BI dashboards that need setup and SQL clients that assume query fluency, Raw Query targets quick ad hoc questions from founders and analysts. Postgres connections support inserts and updates with confirmation prompts, while MySQL and MariaDB connections focus on read queries, so teams on Postgres get broader write access.

Raw Query fits solo founders, developers avoiding one-off internal tools, and BI users who want answers without learning SQL syntax. The free plan includes 300 successful queries per month across two databases, and paid tiers raise query limits, seats, and support priority up to unlimited seats on the Team plan.
