Quemsi review
A flexible hybrid backup platform with broad database support and a free Solo plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Quemsi is a database backup and restore platform for developers and teams managing MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or MongoDB. Its hosted web console handles metadata, workflows, scheduling, and collaboration, while a locally deployed agent performs database operations inside the customer’s infrastructure. That design suits teams that need tagged snapshots, environment-aware restore workflows, and control over where backups are stored.
Pricing is freemium. The Solo plan costs $0 and includes unlimited databases, environments, and flows, along with core functionality for a single user and community support. The Enterprise plan includes everything in Solo, plus detailed authorization, CI/CD integration, priority support, and organizational features. The published plans make Solo a practical entry point for individual developers or small workflows, while teams needing centralized permissions, organizational features, or priority support should consider Enterprise. Storage options include AWS S3, Azure Blob, and local paths, with AWS S3, Azure Blob, and CI/CD listed as integrations.
Quemsi’s standout capability is its workflow-oriented approach to database state management. Users can create tagged snapshots, review timeline history, schedule recurring backup flows, run pre- and post-processing scripts, share backups across environments, and restore earlier states through the web interface. The platform is open source and supports a hybrid deployment model, but operating that model requires installing an agent within the customer’s infrastructure. Solo also remains single-user with community support, while Enterprise pricing requires a separate commercial conversation. Choose Quemsi for flexible snapshot and restore workflows across local and cloud-controlled storage; teams seeking a fully managed service without an infrastructure-side agent should evaluate alternatives.
