Feature Comparison

Some features like embedding, automated sync, and team collaboration are exclusive to ChartDB Cloud. Supporting these features locally comes with a lot of additional complexity, syncing, and maintaining a consistent experience across different environments. For now, we’ve prioritized making the cloud version as seamless as possible so we can move fast, iterate, and offer the best experience.
