Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI. Learn more.

PlanetScale Reviews
"The Best Database Services for Frontend Developers"
Overall: During the year I have been using Planetscale I have never experienced anything bad or technical problems, everything is smooth and runs well
Pros: Database platforms like Planetscale really help me when working on website projects with a small team, even without having a backend developer
Cons: There is no GUI feature to backup and download the database, everything has to be done via the CLI
