It’s been about a year since our first launch of SB and we think it’s about time to align our pricing and plan structure to better serve both our free and paying customers.
In our new pricing structure, we try to open the essential features for free while adding values to paying customers. Some major difference between free and paid plans are:
Public/ Private Projects
A public project allows public users to open and read your projects while a private project allows its owner to grant read, write and/or administrative access to named users.
A paid subscription allows a certain number of private projects and unlimited public projects; while a free plan can create unlimited public projects but no private projects.
So if you are doing open source projects or anything that you are happy to share your projects with the public, free plan is definitely the one to pick.
SQL Alter Scripts
SB allows storing your database schema into the version repository for future retrieval. With paid subscription, you can generate SQL Alter scripts to migrate your database from one version to another.
Reverse Engineering
Reverse-engineering the schema from your database requires quite a lot of system resources and we’ve decided to put a quota (5 times per week) to the free plan.
All Brand New 7-Day Pass
If you want to test-drive our paid subscription but think one month is still too much to pay, you now can try our brand-new 7-day pass. It gives you features of the Micro Plan for 7 days. It costs only $3!
As usual, let us know your feedback on how to make SB better!

This is the second most wanted feature on our wish list. You can now export your ERD diagrams into PNG image format. The image should be precisely like what you see on screen, including the theme chosen.
This feature is available to all users with paid subscriptions. From the menu bar, click on File > Export as PNG Image. A link will show up on the right hand side once the image is ready for download.
New Features
paid-subscription, printing, sb-designer
You may have noticed by now that each of your projects can be accessed by an unique URL. The URL is short enough for you to pass it around in twitter. The format is:
http://schemabank.com/a/the-unique-id-of-your-project
Accessing a Branch
You can also specify the branch and even the version of the schema you want to access. This will open the head version (i.e. the latest version) of the trunk branch:
Accessing a Version
And this will open version 2 of the trunk branch:
With the unique URL and the ability to share your projects for public access, people on the ‘net can locate your projects more easily.
New Features
collaborate, free-plan, paid-subscription
You may sometimes run into a state where SB has loaded half-way to complete: you see all application controls, buttons, menu but with an empty ERD pane.
That’s confusing at the least, and dangerous at worst; because SB is trying to load all your project content. If you do something unexpected at that particular state, it could hurt your project.
But with the new bootstrapping method, you won’t get into that state anymore. We have made a window showing you the exact loading progress. And you will see the application interface only after a full load.
New Features
free-plan, paid-subscription, sb-designer
We know this is a long-awaited feature. But it took much more time than we expected to get it right on all supported browsers. You can now move
- any part of the relationship lines
- the label of a relationship name
- the position of an entity while keeping the relative position of the line connector
You will also notice when you resize an entity window, the size will be remembered correctly.
