Free PostgreSQL Database & Remote PostgreSQL Hosting
Create a free PostgreSQL database on port 5432 in a few clicks. You get a standard postgresql:// connection URI that works directly with Node.js (pg, Prisma, Drizzle), Python (psycopg2, SQLAlchemy), Go, PHP, and desktop SQL clients. Use the 30-day free tier for classes and quick tests, or switch to the $5/month Pro plan when you need permanent storage and daily backups.
TCP port 5432 • No credit card required for the free tier
# 1. Add to your .env file DATABASE_URL="postgresql://u_app_user:secret@sql.freedb.tech:5432/freedb_app" # 2. Or connect with psql psql "postgresql://u_app_user:secret@sql.freedb.tech:5432/freedb_app" # 3. Check current database and version SELECT current_database(), current_user, version();
Remote PostgreSQL Without Server Setup
Instead of installing Postgres locally or configuring cloud firewall rules for a small project, you can generate credentials in the dashboard and connect right away.
Standard Port 5432
Connect from Vercel, Render, Railway, Fly.io, DBeaver, pgAdmin, or your local terminal using normal PostgreSQL drivers.
Isolated Database & Role
Each FreeDB PostgreSQL database gets its own role and owns its public schema, with public access from other users revoked.
SQL Imports & Daily Backups
Run queries or import .sql and .sql.gz files from the dashboard. Pro accounts also get automated daily pg_dump backups.
Free Sandbox vs. Persistent Pro ($5/mo)
The Free plan gives you 1 PostgreSQL database (up to 2 databases total if you also use MySQL), 5 concurrent connections, and 100 MB of storage for 30 days. If you are building an ongoing app or a semester-long project, the $5/month Pro plan removes the 30-day expiration and increases your limits to 5 databases, 25 connections, and 1 GB of storage.
