WorksCove ERD is a browser-based database design and entity-relationship diagramming tool for individuals, professionals, and teams. It reverse-engineers existing MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server schemas into editable diagrams, then generates runnable DDL SQL from those models. The product also supports cross-database conversion, schema validation, migration scripts, version history, documentation exports, and AI-assisted schema advice. It is aimed at teams that want database modeling, review, and history in one web application.

Pricing is structured around three monthly plans. Free costs $0 per month and includes SQL export, version control and history, table documentation, and the AI assistant. Professional costs $10 per month and adds unlimited projects and unlimited tables while retaining those features. Team costs $20 per user per month and adds team collaboration alongside unlimited projects, unlimited tables, SQL export, version control and history, table documentation, and the AI assistant. A 30-day free trial is also available. The plan structure makes Professional a fit for individuals or teams needing broader project capacity, while Team is the relevant choice for real-time group work and project permissions.

Its strongest area is the database workflow around an ERD: schema import, editable modeling, dialect conversion, validation with more than 20 rules, version comparison, migration-script generation, snapshots, and restore. Export options include SQL, PNG, SVG, Markdown, HTML, JSON, and Excel documentation, giving teams several ways to share or archive designs. The web-only deployment suits browser-based collaboration, but teams needing a desktop application should look elsewhere. WorksCove ERD is a sensible pick for affordable schema design with validation and history; teams requiring support beyond the five listed database systems should consider an alternative.
