dbFront 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

We have our front end for the dozen or so data marts we will be setting up. With how easy it is in DB Front to copy the setup from one database in the application to another we have 100% consistency in approach in between all the data marts which means we will spend less time navigating and understanding what we're looking at and more time producing. Also all of this has been achieved under a tight deadline and requires almost no programming knowledge to use or setup.

I found dbFront quite a while ago when my company was moving applications every other day (it seemed like) and I was tired of recreating the reporting and functionality for our client list in new places all the time. dbFront made it easy to create an in-house front-end to our SQL database that allows us all of the functionality we need to update and maintain our records. It's awesome and constantly improving. I would be lost without it!

Love the product as it gave me instant access to my personal database!

After chasing technology for years, trying several self-hosted and cloud solutions, we were fortunate to find dbFront. The others had limitations or issues like being bandwidth hogs, requiring tons of ongoing maintenance updates, only offering over-complicated interfaces or their subscription fees kept going up to rates that a non-profit can't justify. Our goal was to make our data available to all Internet Users for searching, displaying, sorting and printing/exporting to CSV or PDF - - really what you would think would be a simple project. It turned out to be quite the daunting task. dbFront and their Team has changed all of this for us. We are finally able to utilize the data from our SQL database, displaying the records from within our website, using dbFront's web application and features. Using dbFront, we use can display all of our records in any order, based on any filter, add action buttons for printing, format our report templates and more. We have an Administrative panel where we can edit or add records, an Administrative panel for our Public view, and our end product for Internet Users. The interface is simple, yet very powerful. We're still learning the interface, but completely excited and relieved to find dbFront. You can choose to build a super simple Table/Form page, displaying your records in table format in the top panel, with the details for each record in the bottom Form, and a simple button to print details. You can also add multiple reports based on the criteria you set up in the back-end. You have the ability to modify both the Table and Form views. For example, you decide which fields (columns) to include in your Table, the order, and the field titles, along with the same type editing allowed for your detailed Form view. You can also add action buttons for printing and grouping. The features for "Search" and "Column Sorting" are automatically built-in for your End-Users. An experienced Database Administrator could be up and run in a very short amount of time. Less experienced Users can accomplish the same, taking a bit longer to get their public view where they want it. Bottom line: The more we use dbFront, the more excited we get. I see this as being a top contender for those in need of displaying/formatting their data on public websites, or for those in need of offering a company-wide record editing application. We are very happy to have found dbFront and look forward to years of utilizing this application.

Excellent. Loved developing in it, especially when support was so available.

Quite simply, this product lets you use the power of a database to maintain & report on your data without the need for any front end programming. Providing you use foreign key constraints to maintain your data relationships dbFront will do the rest for you. It provides you with effective control over user authentication & database access and auditing. You can determine which columns to display or hide, which to allow to be read only and which are required. You also have control over the sequence in which columns are shown on the screen. It handles lookup tables well with the ability to sequence the lookup drop down data in any sequence you like. If you want to add business logic into all of this you can always utilise back end database triggers and the dbFront provided Action Buttons. It allows you to easily define who can Read/Update/Delete rows on any table. I needed dbFront because although I am an experienced database designer/developer my user interface development skills are sadly way out of date. dbFront allows me to provide a standardised front end for my users to maintain and report on their data. The support I have received from the dbFront team has been excellent.

My overall experience is very good and overall I think the software is very good with a fast setup time as compared to you having to create an interface from scratch your self.

I've already moved a few powerapps over to dbFront. Super easy to whip up a front end for a user and tie that into data analytics.
