Open Console

Built for real operations

CH-UI combines data workbench and platform controls so teams can ship and govern from one place.

SQL Workspace

Multi-tab editor, explorer, completions, saved queries, and schema actions.

Brain Copilot

Provider-managed AI chat with artifacts, SQL generation, and chat persistence.

Access matrix, incidents, policies, lineage, and sync-backed metadata cache.

SMTP/Resend/Brevo channels, rules, routing, escalation, and event logs. Part of Governance.

Pipelines

Visual pipeline builder to ingest data from Kafka, webhooks, databases, and S3 into ClickHouse.

Tunnel Connector

Secure remote ClickHouse access through outbound WebSocket connectors.

Admin Controls

Role overrides, ClickHouse user lifecycle, provider settings, and tunnel management.

Production CLI

Server lifecycle commands with PID-safe start/stop/status/restart behavior.

Open Source Core

The CH-UI core is Apache-2.0 and free — every feature unlocked, no license keys. Self-host it, or let Cloud run it for you.

What CH-UI includes

Product areas built for ClickHouse operators and analytics teams.

Deployment architecture

Self-host the full stack, or let Cloud handle the server while you run connectors next to ClickHouse.

Start free, scale when you need to

CH-UI Cloud is free to start — connect a cluster and you're working in minutes. Upgrade to Pro at $99/mo for governance, managed AI, and higher limits. Flat pricing per organization — never per seat.
