Frequently asked questions

What happens when I hit the Free tier limits?
You can't add new databases or users beyond the limit, but everything already running continues to work. We never stop your existing workflows.
What if I hit Team limits (20 databases / 50 users)?
Same behavior — existing resources keep working. Contact us if you need higher limits; we're happy to discuss Enterprise options for larger teams.
What infrastructure do I need?
Any small VPS (~$5/mo) is sufficient. dbward uses embedded SQLite — no external database required. The server + agent run as lightweight processes.
How does this compare to per-seat pricing tools?
Per-seat database tools typically charge $15–25/user/month. For a 10-person team, that's $150–250/mo. dbward Team is $149/mo flat for up to 50 users — and the Free tier already includes approval workflows that competitors gate behind enterprise plans.
Can I switch between Free and Team?
Yes. Upgrade anytime by adding a license key — no reinstall needed. If you downgrade, existing resources beyond Free limits continue working but you can't create new ones.
