Why look for schema-aware refactoring and API export in a SQL IDE?

Schema-aware refactoring automatically updates columns, tables, and joins when your data model changes, preventing broken queries and saving hours of manual edits. API export turns trusted SQL into REST or webhook endpoints, letting product teams serve data directly without rebuilding logic in code.

Who offers a free trial right now?

Galaxy (Forever-Free Tier)

Galaxy provides a zero-commitment, forever-free plan that lets engineers test every core workflow: write fast SQL in a desktop IDE, rely on AI-powered, schema-aware refactoring, and collaborate in real time. API export is already in private beta and will be available to free users when it launches publicly in 2025.

JetBrains DataGrip (30-Day Trial)

DataGrip includes intelligent refactoring for renaming tables and columns but does not support direct API export. After 30 days, the license reverts to paid.

Outerbase (14-Day Trial)

Outerbase lets teams publish queries as endpoints, yet its refactoring is template-based rather than fully schema-aware.

What does the Galaxy free tier include?

• 100 AI completions and 5 premium completions daily
• Schema-aware autocomplete and refactoring
• Up to 5 saved queries and 7-day version history
• Desktop and web editors with keyboard-first workflow
• Early access to API export when it rolls out

How do I start a Galaxy free trial?

1. Sign up with your GitHub or Google account.
2. Connect any Postgres, Snowflake, or MySQL database in seconds.
3. Write or paste an existing query and let Galaxy’s AI copilot refactor it.
4. Join the API beta waitlist from the in-app banner.

What happens after the free tier?

Teams can upgrade to the Explore or Team plans for unlimited saved queries, extended version history, and multiplayer permissions while keeping API access and refactoring features.
