Cloud-based online database software can be a powerful way to centralize your digital data management. It provides a secure architecture and enables you to conduct in-depth data analysis and make it easy for all stakeholders to collaborate and share real-time data.

Databuilder helps you pipeline, organize, dissect, and analyze your data in realtime. We understand that business intelligence can make or break a business, and we have conceived our tool with that in mind. You can use pivot tables, graphs, detailed reports, and charts to gather insights from your data.

Small businesses can benefit from a solution like Databuilder’s cloud-based database software, as it provides a self-serve solution to manage their data needs without any prior programming knowledge or dependency on IT professionals. Our platform is intuitive so that contributors with domain-expertise can build the application they need.

Databuilder allows unlimited app creators and users, so you can build apps on your own or bring your entire team to the platform. If you know exactly the type of app you need but aren’t too keen on building it yourself,  let us know and we can build one for you.

You do. You’re the sole owner and completely responsible for the contents of your database.

Databuilder offers various subscription plans: from the Freemium Account that’s suitable for simple cloud apps to the Unlimited Account that comes with enterprise capabilities and white-glove services. Compare Databuilder pricing options to see which plan fits your requirements the best.

Our online database software builder lets you get started in seconds. You can leverage our low-code platform to create and deploy your first app in hours, not months. Simply sign up for the Freemium Account, select a template, and start playing around. If there are no templates that match your unique needs, feel free to create a custom web-based application from scratch and start building what you require. Feel free to reach out to our support team if you need help.

An app is a collection of related tables, scripts and pages often reflecting a single project, process, or workflow that you collaborate on with your team. For example, you could make an app to organize your sales process, with tables for sales leads, companies, and deal opportunities. Each table contains records (similar to rows in a spreadsheet), which represent the individual objects, ideas, or people that you’re tracking. You’re free to create as many apps as you’d like on any of our plans.

Your Databuilder database can be accessed from any device connected to the Internet. You can also embed Databuilder database apps on your own website. You can access all your apps by signing into your Databuilder account, or by a direct link to the application’s domain.

No. At this time Databuilder can only work with the database built into our platform. You can export your Databuilder database to a SQL file if you wish.

Switching from your current provider to a new database management software can be difficult. Databuilder lets you import data from CSV files, so you can migrate and transform all of your data from a legacy system with ease. Virtually every other database will let you export into that format. You can even maintain connections and relationships when importing, by preserving key columns in the source data.

Yes! Link Databuilder with other apps and cloud services like Google Sheets, MailChimp, and Trello through Zapier. It’s also easy to migrate your existing data from MS Access, Excel, and other repositories into your Databuilder online database via CSV files. Also, professional developers can integrate your app further via our REST API.

Databuilder provides powerful ways to go back in time with a comprehensive log of all actions that took place in your app. View a living history of all the changes that have been made to a single record and jump back in time and restore your app to a previous state via backups. We provide a limited history for free plans, with extended histories for our premium plans. When you upgrade and extend your history, you’ll see the history that was previously limited by your old plan’s limits.

While we don’t limit the number of apps you can create or users you can invite, we do limit records and attachment space per account. On the Freemium plan, we limit the total number of records you can have across all tables and all apps in an account. We also limit the total amount of attachment space you can use in your account. You can increase these limits by upgrading to one of our premium pricing plans.

No, you do not pay for individual users. Your users and collaborators can access your shared apps without any limitations. We only charge for data usage and maintenance.

This final invoice will either charge any outstanding overages or apply any remaining balance as credit to your account.

A sounding yes! We are committed to protecting your data from day one. We encrypt all data as it moves between our servers and your web browser. In addition, we encrypt all data that is stored on our servers. We use SHA-256, the strongest encryption standard available.

We backup your database in multiple locations several times a day. Restoring from a backup is free for premium plans. Your backup is also secured with encryption.

Let us know and we will manage that process for you. We’ll soon be automating our backups so you can control any restores right from your account.

We maintain a privacy policy that outlines our commitment to respecting your privacy and the privacy of the information in your account. Ultimately, the data in your account is not accessible to anyone, unless you make it accessible.
