Editions

TDB is an open-core product. The community edition is free, forever under AGPLv3. The paid editions add the connectors, auth, and compliance features you need to run TDB in production for a real team.

This page shows exactly what each edition includes. For pricing and a free 30-day evaluation, email us — we'll tailor a quote to your deployment and get you set up.

Tiers

AGPLv3. Self-hosted. No credit card.

Built for developers who want to evaluate the concept with a single data source.

Data sources

  • CSV connector
  • 1 registered source at a time

Auth

  • Single static API key

Query & API

  • REST query endpoint (SELECT only, 1,000-row cap)
  • Auto schema detection
  • OpenAPI / Swagger UI

MCP

  • query_source tool only

Audit

  • Local NDJSON audit log (append-only, one entry per query)

Install

  • Docker Compose one-liner
  • CLI (tdb serve, tdb register, tdb query)

Commercial license. Self-hosted.

Everything you need to run TDB in production — multiple databases, governed MCP access, and a tamper-evident audit trail.

Data sources

  • PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake
  • Unlimited simultaneous registered sources

Auth

  • JWT authentication
  • API key rotation and management
  • OAuth 2.1 with PKCE — Claude Desktop and Cursor connect natively
  • Per-key rate limiting
  • CORS configuration

Query & API

  • All Community features, plus:
  • Named views (YAML-defined, typed parameters)

MCP

  • All 7 MCP tools: query_source, schema_source, preview_source, filter_source, aggregate_source, list_views, run_view
  • Schema annotations — describe what a cryptic column holds, so an AI assistant reads it correctly instead of guessing
  • Prompt injection filtering (input + output)
  • Per-key MCP tool allow-lists

Access control

  • RBAC: read / readwrite / admin roles per API key

Audit

  • Signed hash-chained audit log (SHA-256, tamper-evident)
  • GET /v1/audit/verify — walk the chain, detect tampering
  • Configurable retention — seal the log into verifiable segments by size or age; TDB never deletes an entry

SIEM export

  • Splunk HEC audit export (POST /v1/audit/export)
  • S3 audit export — entries written to your own bucket, keyed by sequence range
  • Incremental by default: each destination keeps its own cursor, so a scheduled export ships only what it has not already sent
  • Datadog and OpenTelemetry are built on request — tell us which one you need

Observability

  • Prometheus metrics (GET /metrics)
  • Schema caching with configurable TTL
  • Health check endpoint

Commercial license. Self-hosted.

For regulated industries — healthcare-tech, fintech, and any team that needs a supported deployment and enterprise identity.

Every product feature is included in both commercial editions. Mid-Market adds the support commitment around them, and the identity and access-control work below as it ships.

Everything in SMB, plus:

Support

  • SLA-backed support — next business day response
  • Onboarding call and deployment review

Enterprise identity

  • SSO / SAML / SCIM (on the roadmap, not yet built)

Fine-grained access control

  • Column-level access control (on the roadmap, not yet built)

Discounts

Annual subscriptions and larger / multi-seat deployments qualify for discounts. Email us to discuss terms for your team.

Edition comparison

The two commercial editions ship the same product. Nothing in the running server is switched off by edition — SMB and Mid-Market differ on the support commitment, and on identity and access-control features that are still on the roadmap.

† All editions currently cap responses at 1,000 rows — a deliberate safety default that keeps an AI agent from pulling an entire table. Push work down with aggregates and named views; pagination beyond 1,000 rows is on the roadmap.

The open-source guarantee

Features in the community edition are free forever under AGPLv3. We will never move a free feature behind a paywall. If you evaluate TDB today with CSV, those capabilities are yours permanently — no license change, no feature flag.

FAQ

Can I run the enterprise tier on-premises? Yes. TDB is self-hosted by design. The commercial license covers your on-premises deployment. There is no SaaS-only restriction.

How do evaluations work, and what happens when mine ends? Email us and we'll issue a 30-day evaluation licence at no charge — a dedicated, self-hosted image with the licence baked in, running entirely on your own infrastructure (no data reaches us). When it expires, TDB keeps running and /health stays healthy, but data and API requests return a clear license_expired response until you renew or convert. Need longer to evaluate? Just ask.

Do you offer annual or volume discounts? Yes — annual subscriptions and larger / multi-seat deployments qualify for discounts. Email us to discuss terms.

How much does it cost? Paid editions are a flat self-hosted license (no per-query or per-row metering). We share pricing by email so we can match the right edition to your deployment and include a free 30-day evaluation — get in touch.

Is the source code for the enterprise tier available? No. The enterprise tier is a closed-source commercial product. The community edition is fully open under AGPLv3.

I need BigQuery / Datadog / SSO now. When do those ship? They are on the roadmap and not yet built. We deliberately don't publish dates we haven't committed engineering to — a date we miss is worse than no date, particularly in a product you're evaluating for compliance. If one of these is blocking your evaluation, email us: that's the signal that moves it up, and design partners get built first.
