What is SaturnSQL?

SaturnSQL is a collaborative SQL editor that runs in the browser. It gives a data team one place to write, save, and share queries against company databases. Founder Kim Salmi built it as a replacement for PopSQL and SeekWell after both announced shutdowns.

The product is built around the idea that everyone in a company should have access to its data, not just engineers and analysts, and that the access should be safe. It is operated by Panda Capital Oy Ab, registered in Finland.

How does SaturnSQL work?

A team adds a connection string or service account key once. After that, teammates join through a shared link and query the database through the shared connection, so nobody needs the password. Queries run directly against the database over encrypted tunnels, and credentials are stored with AES-256 encryption.

Saved queries sit in a shared library. Any of them can be scheduled to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, and the results land in a Google Sheet or a Slack channel. The editor also offers schema-aware autocomplete and a schema explorer.

Key features of SaturnSQL

The core features are the shared query library, query variables that turn a saved query into a form, and scheduled delivery to Google Sheets and Slack. Reports let colleagues read a saved query as a filterable page, and dashboards (beta) combine several reports under one filter bar.

Two features stand out. The hosted MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Claude Code read schemas and run queries on shared connections, with the same row limits as the editor. On Pro, an AI assistant turns natural language into SQL, explains queries, and rewrites them for optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SaturnSQL?

SaturnSQL is a browser-based SQL editor for teams. It offers a shared query library, scheduled delivery of results to Google Sheets and Slack, and an MCP server for AI assistants. It was built as a replacement for PopSQL and SeekWell.

How much does SaturnSQL cost?

A Free plan costs €0 per month. Starter is €19 per user per month, and Pro (AI) is €79 per seat per month. Enterprise uses custom pricing, and annual billing is not offered.

Does SaturnSQL have a free trial?

Yes. Paid plans include a 14-day trial with no credit card required. When it ends, the account moves to the Free plan and saved queries, connections, and schedules are kept.

Which databases does SaturnSQL support?

It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, Redshift, ClickHouse, BigQuery, and DynamoDB. Snowflake is available on the Pro plan, and MongoDB is listed as coming soon.

Can SaturnSQL send query results to Google Sheets or Slack?

Yes. Any saved query can be scheduled hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, and results are delivered to a Google Sheet or a Slack channel. Exports are also available as CSV, Excel, and JSON.

Does SaturnSQL work with Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor?

Yes, from the Starter plan. A hosted MCP server lets these assistants read schemas and run queries on shared connections, with the same row limits as the editor. The assistant never sees the database password.

Is there a SaturnSQL desktop app?

Yes, for macOS and Linux. It is the same workspace in a native window, sharing existing queries, connections, and schedules. Queries still run through SaturnSQL, so it is not an offline tool.

Is SaturnSQL a good PopSQL or SeekWell alternative?

The site positions it as one, covering collaborative browser-based editing plus scheduled delivery to Sheets and Slack. SeekWell shut down on July 31, 2026, and PopSQL's planned September 1, 2026 shutdown is postponed, with limited support. Migration guides are provided for both.
