The record

Purpose: DrawSQL is a browser-based database schema diagram tool for designing, reviewing, and evolving schemas with a team.
SQL import: Users can paste CREATE TABLE statements to generate a schema diagram showing tables, columns, and foreign keys.
Exports: The product exports database DDL, Laravel migrations, and JSON.
AI features: DrawSQL AI can generate tables and relationships from a description, review schemas, and show proposed changes as a diff before applying them.
Collaboration: Paid plans include real-time multiplayer editing, and diagrams can include discussion threads.
Sharing: Diagrams can be shared by public link, embedded, or shared with invited guests; private diagrams are limited to eligible paid plans.
Integrations: The hosted MCP server supports Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code, and DrawSQL diagrams can be embedded in Notion, Confluence, or other pages that support embeds.
API: The REST API is available on paid plans and provides access to team diagrams and schemas.
API access control: REST API requests use personal access tokens tied to a team, and tokens can be revoked from account settings.
Enterprise controls: The Enterprise plan lists single sign-on with SAML and an audit trail.
Limits: The free plan permits public diagrams with up to 15 tables; private diagrams, AI review, and real-time collaboration require a paid plan.
Support: Enterprise includes priority support, and the help documentation invites users to contact support by chat or email.
Intended users: The pricing page describes Starter for solo developers, Growth for teams collaborating on a schema, and Enterprise for teams beyond 25 users or needing SSO, an audit trail, or priority support.
