We’re excited to announce a change in our licensing model that we believe will benefit the developer community – DataGrip is now free for non-commercial use!

JetBrains is a software development company known for its suite of developer tools, including integrated development environments (IDEs) such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm. Through its platform, JetBrains provides developers with powerful tools for coding, debugging, and collaboration, across a wide range of programming languages and frameworks. From their blog developers can learn about JetBrains' IDE features, productivity tips, and best practices for using its tools effectively to streamline their development workflows and boost productivity.

JetBrains DataGrip, a cross-platform database IDE, is now free for non-commercial use including learning, hobby projects, open-source development, and content creation. The change follows similar moves for RustRover, CLion, Rider, WebStorm, and RubyMine. All commercial features remain available in the free version, including AI-powered code completion, multi-database support, and Git integration. Commercial users must still purchase licenses. The free license lasts one year with automatic renewal and requires anonymous telemetry sharing.

DataGrip Is Now Free for Non-Commercial Use

they’re doing this so they can get training data from free users to fine-tuning their AI model or processes right?

Interesting. I have been using Data Grip for quite some time, and it is a competent tool. I guess this is the strategy to make its usage widespread and make more money from adoption.

DataGrip is great for general query work and dev work. Query a table with number, highlight the output column and voila, a total appears. Great for validating finance data on the fly. Load of other features too.

It’s great to see JetBrains investing in the next generation of developers instead of gate keeping quality tools.
