Snapshot
Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Turso is a SQLite-compatible database built so teams can programmatically create many isolated databases — one per AI agent, end user, or tenant — instead of one large shared instance.
More detail
- It runs embedded on a device, in the browser, or as a managed cloud service, with sync between local copies and the cloud.
- Best for
- Teams that need thousands or millions of small isolated databases, such as AI agent builders, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, vibe-coding app generators, consumer apps with per-user privacy, and local-first or offline apps needing device-to-cloud sync.
- Pricing
- Turso earns revenue from monthly cloud plans plus metered overages.
More detail
- Free is $0 (100 databases, 5GB storage, 500M row reads, 10M row writes, 3GB syncs/month).
- Developer is $4.99/month (unlimited databases, 9GB storage, then $0.75/GB; 2.5B reads then $1/B; 25M writes then $1/M; 10GB syncs then $0.35/G
- Main limitation
- Buyers who want one large centralized database or are committed to Postgres-native features, since Turso is SQLite-compatible and its Postgres protocol support is described as experimental.

About
- Turso is a SQLite-compatible database built so teams can programmatically create many isolated databases — one per AI agent, end user, or tenant — instead of one large shared instance.
- It runs embedded on a device, in the browser, or as a managed cloud service, with sync between local copies and the cloud.
What it helps with
- AI agents need isolated workspaces and persistent memory without sharing one database with core infrastructure.
- Multi-tenant platforms need hard per-customer data boundaries without paying for a dedicated server per customer.
- Consumer apps need per-user private, encrypted data storage.
- Regulated and global businesses need per-database data residency and sovereignty controls.
- A large fleet of mostly-idle databases becomes prohibitively expensive on single-instance database infrastructure.
- SQLite write contention ("database is locked") blocks concurrent writers.
- Local-first and offline apps need a device copy that stays in sync with the cloud.
