What is the difference between editors and viewers in PopSQL?
Editors can create, edit, and execute queries, while viewers can only access, comment, and share links to existing queries and dashboards. PopSQL only charges for editors, with viewers being free. -
How does pricing work when team members join or leave?
PopSQL pro rates charges when team members change. If someone leaves mid-month, you receive a credit for the unused portion. If someone joins mid-month, you're only billed for the remaining portion of that month. -
