Give your engineers two weeks back every year
Beekeeper users report a {{ productivityGain }}% productivity boost over their previous tool. That's days, not minutes. Let's do the math for your team.
Your team
Net savings, year one
That's {{ formatN(annualHoursSaved) }} hours of engineering time back, across {{ users }} {{ users === 1 ? 'person' : 'people' }}, at {{ format(hourlyRate) }}/hr.
Inputs provided
| Team size | {{ users }} {{ users === 1 ? 'person' : 'people' }} |
|---|---|
| Currency | {{ currency }} ({{ currencyConfig.symbol }}) |
| Fully-loaded hourly rate | {{ format(hourlyRate) }} / hour |
| Time per person in a database | {{ hoursPerMonth }} hours / month |
| Productivity gain assumed | {{ productivityGain }}% (self-reported by Beekeeper users) |
| License plan | {{ planObj.name }} · {{ formatMonthly(planObj.yearly) }}/user/month (annual billing) |
Detailed calculation
| Monthly hours saved, per person | {{ hoursPerMonth }} × {{ productivityGain }}% = {{ monthlyHoursSavedPP.toFixed(1) }} hrs |
|---|---|
| Annual hours saved, whole team | {{ monthlyHoursSavedPP.toFixed(1) }} × 12 × {{ users }} = {{ formatN(annualHoursSaved) }} hrs |
| Value of time saved | {{ formatN(annualHoursSaved) }} hrs × {{ format(hourlyRate) }} = {{ format(valueOfTimeSaved) }} |
| Annual license cost | {{ users }} × {{ formatAnnualSeat(planObj.yearly) }} = {{ format(annualLicenseCost) }} |
| Net savings, year one | {{ format(net) }} · ROI {{ roiX >= 100 ? formatN(roiX) + '×' : roiX.toFixed(1) + '×' }} |

Methodology & caveats
- The {{ productivityGain }}% productivity figure is self-reported by Beekeeper users, comparing Beekeeper Studio to their previous SQL client (typically pgAdmin, DBeaver, MySQL Workbench, or SSMS).
- "Hours in a database" is intended to count active query & data-management time, not background work.
- License cost shown is list price; volume and annual commitments may further reduce per-seat cost.
- Savings exclude indirect benefits: faster onboarding, fewer escaped production bugs, reduced context-switching across tools.
Backed by thousands of real customer tesimonials.
In surveys, emails, and testimonials our customers make it crystal clear - Beekeeper Studio drives real productivity gains.
One window instead of six
When customers swap a stack of single-database tools for one app, with one set of keybindings, the app-switching tax disappears.
Iterate without losing your place
Tabbed queries, full query history, saved queries, and team workspaces make exploring your data faster and easier.
A tool that gets out of your way
No freezing on big result sets, and no fighting a dated UI. Beekeeper opens fast and stays quiet, so the work is the data, not the tool.
"Beekeeper Studio is hands down one of the best SQL clients I've used. It's fast, clean, and makes managing databases a breeze. The tabbed interface, autocomplete, and instant results preview save so much time in daily tasks."
The boring useful corporate stuff
Security review, compliance posture, and how to actually cut us a PO. The answers that corporations need to onboard a trustworthy vendor.
Built for your IT & security review.
We take security seriously. Beekeeper Studio is a desktop app, so none of your data leaves your machine unless you want it to, and we maintain a a comprehensive suite of policies, most of which you can read below.
Your data stays local by default
Beekeeper Studio is a desktop app: it connects straight from your machine to your database, so credentials, queries, and results never leave your computer. Cloud workspaces are entirely opt-in — your data only travels if you choose to use one.
Open source, auditable
Dual-licensed under GPLv3 and a commercial license. Source code is on GitHub, so your security team can review exactly what runs.
Code-signed binaries
Windows EV-signed, macOS notarized with Apple, Linux GPG-signed. Your OS verifies authenticity automatically. No warning popups.
Offline-capable, opt-in telemetry
Works without internet, including offline license validation. Telemetry is opt-in; query content and database data are never collected.
Cloud features are optional
Cloud workspaces are an opt-in add-on, backed by comprehensive security policies. An administrator can disable them entirely so the app stays fully local.
Enterprise config & auth
Machine-wide policies via system.config.ini. Azure Entra ID, AWS IAM, SSH tunnels and jump hosts supported out of the box.
GDPR, CCPA, pre-signed DPA
Published security policies. Cyber liability insurance. 72-hour breach notification. A pre-signed DPA is available to download.
