Frequently Asked Questions
DBCode is specifically designed for connecting, querying, and managing databases directly within Visual Studio Code, making it ideal for developers who work extensively with databases like Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB. It offers features like AI code completion, stored procedures, and entity relationship diagrams. In contrast, Firebase is a comprehensive app development platform that includes database management as part of its broader feature set, focusing more on app development and user authentication. If your primary need is database management, DBCode may be the better choice.
Firebase offers a robust user authentication system that supports various methods including email/password, phone authentication, and social identity providers, making it versatile for app developers. DBCode, on the other hand, does not focus on user authentication but rather on database management features. Therefore, if user authentication is a critical requirement for your project, Firebase would be the superior option.
Firebase provides a generous free tier with 50,000 monthly active users (MAUs) and a low pricing structure that decreases as you scale, starting at $0.0055 per MAU. DBCode, while offering powerful database management features, has some functionalities that require a paid subscription, which may not be as cost-effective for users focused on managing databases. Therefore, for pricing related to active users, Firebase is likely the better option.
