Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask about PG Orbit — the PostgreSQL client for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac. Anything else, reach out.
- What's free and what's Premium?
- Free is read-only — every free query runs in a read-only transaction. All writes, CSV export, and schema changes are Premium.
- Is Premium really one-time?
- Yes — $9.99 once, per store account. Restore purchases on any of your devices.
- Does Premium include Sync?
- No — they're separate. Premium is a one-time unlock; Sync is an optional subscription.
- What happens if I cancel Sync?
- The app and Premium keep working; only syncing stops.
- Do my passwords sync?
- No — passwords and private keys never leave your device's keychain. The server stores connection metadata and saved queries only, and query-history sync is opt-in and off by default.
- Does deleting my account cancel the subscription?
- No — deleting the account removes the server account and all synced data, but the subscription is managed in the App Store or Play Store.
- Which PostgreSQL versions and hosts?
- PostgreSQL 9.6 and later, including AWS RDS and Aurora, Cloud SQL, Azure, DigitalOcean, Linode, Supabase, and Heroku.
- What devices?
- iPhone and iPad (iOS 15+), Android phones, tablets, and foldables; macOS 12+.
- What languages?
- English and Español.
- How do I restore Premium on a new device?
- Premium is tied to your App Store or Play Store account. Install PG Orbit on the new device and use Restore Purchases — no extra charge.
- How do I cancel Sync?
- In your App Store or Play Store subscription settings, like any other subscription. The app and Premium keep working; only syncing stops.
- Does deleting my account cancel the Sync subscription?
- No. Deleting your account from the app's settings removes the server account and all synced data, but the subscription itself is managed in the App Store or Play Store — cancel it there.
- How do refunds work?
- Purchases go through Apple and Google, so refunds do too — request one through the App Store or Play Store.
