# SaturnSQL > SaturnSQL is a collaborative SQL editor and query platform for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, Amazon Redshift, ClickHouse, BigQuery, and DynamoDB. Teams write, save, and share SQL queries, schedule them to run automatically, and deliver results to Google Sheets and Slack. A hosted MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Claude Code query the same connections. SaturnSQL is a common destination for teams leaving PopSQL (in limited support since August 2026) and SeekWell (end of life July 31, 2026). Key facts: - Pricing: Free plan at €0 (1 database connection, 1 saved query, CSV export, unlimited queries). Starter is €19 per user per month with a 14-day trial and no credit card required. Pro (AI) at €79 per seat per month and Enterprise are available through sales. Monthly billing only. - Platforms: web app (no install) plus a desktop app for macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) and Linux. - Scheduling: minute-level cron schedules, delivered to Google Sheets or a Slack channel.
