Datalore review
A flexible notebook platform with collaboration, computation, reporting, and deployment options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Datalore is a collaborative data science notebook platform from JetBrains for teams working across analysis, reporting, and shared notebook workflows. It supports Python, SQL, R, Scala, and Kotlin, with database connections, SQL cells, CPU and GPU computation, interactive and static reports, scheduled runs, exports, and notebook execution through an API. Its deployment choices suit teams that want a hosted cloud service or organizations that require private infrastructure and custom environments.
The free Cloud Free plan includes unlimited notebooks, one shared workspace, one interactive shareable report, a Notebook API, and on-the-fly environment customization. The published paid Cloud starting price is 29.17 and adds Datalore AI, real-time collaboration, version history, unlimited database connections and SQL queries, and team management features. A 14-day free trial is available, although trial users cannot use Datalore credits. On-Premises supports a self-hosted or dedicated JetBrains-managed instance, unlimited free viewers, advanced team management, SSO options, and audit logs.
Datalore’s main strength is the combination of language breadth and workflow depth: teams can move from notebook execution to reports, scheduled runs, exports, and API-based execution without being limited to Python. Real-time collaboration and checkpoints support shared work, while CPU/GPU-backed computation expands the range of workloads it can accommodate. Teams should choose Datalore when they need multilingual notebooks, collaborative features, and a choice between hosted and private deployment. It is less suitable for teams that require version history on a free plan or GPU access without paid Cloud computation or a configurable On-Premises setup.
