VERDICT

Should I use AskYourDatabase?

Chat with your SQL database in natural language. Get SQL, answers, and charts without writing queries. - askyourdatabase.com

Depends. Buy if non-technical staff constantly need database answers and can verify AI output on read-only access. Skip if you need guaranteed-correct SQL, DBA admin features, or enterprise governance.

high

Bot runs Python against live data; connect read-only credentials, never production write access.

medium

Listed prices conflict across sites ($29/mo vs $23-$49). Confirm current desktop vs chatbot pricing.

medium

Two products exist (desktop app, hosted chatbot); where queries run differs. Verify data handling.
