mindSDB Pro plan limits: how many questions per month and how many data sources can I connect?
6 min read
Most teams looking at the Pro plan want a clear answer on two things: how far they can push it each month, and how much of their data they can actually connect before they outgrow it. Here’s the short version based on our current plans:
- The Pro plan includes a cloud-hosted Minds Enterprise instance.
- That instance supports up to 250 questions per month.
- You can connect up to 3 data sources (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Google BigQuery, Salesforce, Snowflake).
Below, I’ll unpack what “questions” and “data sources” really mean in practice, how those limits work, and when it makes sense to move to Deploy Anywhere for more scale.
Quick answer: Pro plan limits for questions and data sources
On the Minds Enterprise: Cloud – Pro plan:
-
Questions per month:
- You can run up to 250 questions / month from your single-user Pro instance.
- This is the same question allowance that’s described for the paid cloud instance in our pricing context.
-
Connected data sources:
- You can connect up to 3 data sources at a time.
- Supported integrations on cloud include:
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MS SQL Server
- Google BigQuery
- Salesforce
- Snowflake
That combination is designed for an individual analytics leader, product owner, or builder who wants production-grade AI-powered analytics without needing their own infrastructure yet.
What counts as a “question” on the Pro plan?
On Pro, a question is any natural language or SQL request you send to Minds Enterprise that triggers the AI pipeline:
- You ask something in plain English (or SQL) like:
- “Show MRR by region from BigQuery and Salesforce, last 90 days.”
- “Compare this quarter’s ticket resolution time in PostgreSQL vs last quarter.”
- Minds Enterprise translates that into a plan, generates SQL or document retrieval steps, validates them, and executes them in place against your connected data sources.
- The full round-trip—planning, validation, and execution—counts as one question.
A few clarifications:
- Follow-up refinements (e.g., “filter to EMEA only,” “group by segment”) are each treated as new questions, because they trigger new query plans and executions.
- Scheduled or repeated queries you configure are counted each time they execute, since each run re-queries your live systems.
- Read-only or write-back operations initiated through the AI assistant both count as questions; the difference is in what the SQL does, not in how usage is measured.
The 250-question limit is about keeping Pro fast and cost-effective for single users who need serious analytics, but not yet org-wide volume.
What counts as a “data source”?
A data source is any individual system you connect as a backend to your Minds Enterprise: Cloud instance. On the Pro plan, you can connect up to 3 of these at the same time.
Some examples:
-
Databases and warehouses
- 1 × PostgreSQL instance = 1 data source
- 1 × MySQL database = 1 data source
- 1 × MS SQL Server database = 1 data source
- 1 × Snowflake account/schema = 1 data source
- 1 × Google BigQuery project/dataset = 1 data source
-
SaaS applications
- 1 × Salesforce org = 1 data source
Within each data source, Minds Enterprise can see multiple schemas, tables, and objects, but they all roll up under that single connection.
So a typical Pro user might choose a setup like:
- PostgreSQL for product/usage data
- Snowflake for finance and reporting data
- Salesforce for CRM and pipeline data
That’s 3 data sources—and with them, you can ask cross-system questions in one place without ETL or data duplication.
How these limits work in real usage
250 questions / month: what that feels like
For a single user, 250 questions per month often translates to:
- Roughly 8–12 questions per day on a standard work month
- Enough to:
- Explore metrics and run daily checks
- Build and validate a few recurring workflows
- Run ad-hoc investigations when something breaks or spikes
If you find yourself:
- Hitting the 250-question ceiling early each month
- Needing multiple users (analysts + business leaders)
- Automating lots of scheduled queries or reports
…then you’re starting to look like a Teams / Deploy Anywhere customer, where the plan shifts from a fixed question cap to unlimited questions under an annual subscription.
3 data sources: when it’s enough, when it’s not
3 sources usually cover:
- A primary transactional or product database (PostgreSQL / MySQL / MS SQL Server)
- A warehouse (Snowflake / BigQuery)
- A core SaaS system (Salesforce)
Where it might feel limiting:
- You want to bring in more than one warehouse (e.g., BigQuery + Snowflake) plus transactional DBs
- You need multiple Salesforce orgs or regional databases
- You’re ready to tap into more than 3 systems across your CRM, ERP, billing, and support stack
At that stage, it’s a strong signal to move to Minds Enterprise: Deploy Anywhere:
- Customized data sources (not just 3)
- Customized integrations across 300+ connectors
- Unlimited questions
- Unlimited users with SSO/LDAP
- Deployed on-premise or in your VPC—your data never leaves your trust boundary
How Pro fits into the full Minds Enterprise lineup
To put the Pro plan limits in context:
Free (Minds Enterprise: Cloud)
- $0/month
- Single user
- Same core supported integrations list (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Google BigQuery, Salesforce, Snowflake)
- Designed to experiment with AI-powered analytics on top of your real systems
Pro (Minds Enterprise: Cloud)
- $35/month, billed monthly; cancel anytime
- Single user
- Cloud instance with 250 questions / month
- Up to 3 connected data sources
- Managed LLMs, business rules, and analytics UI included
- HA/failover, usage limits, and privacy controls managed for you
This is the right plan when you want to move beyond tinkering and actually rely on Minds Enterprise for your day-to-day decision-making—without yet needing org-wide rollout.
Teams / Deploy Anywhere (Minds Enterprise: Deploy Anywhere)
- Annual subscription; contact us for pricing
- Unlimited users with SSO and LDAP auth
- Unlimited questions
- Customized data sources and integrations
- Deploy on-premise or in your private cloud (VPC)
- Knowledge Base with dynamic updates and native permissions
- Customizable UI & OEM for embedding into your own products
- Enterprise-grade support and everything included in Pro
This is where you go when:
- 250 questions / month is no longer enough
- 3 data sources can’t cover your CRM + ERP + billing + support + warehouse landscape
- You need full governance, RBAC, auditability, and data residency control
When to stay on Pro vs move to Deploy Anywhere
Use this simple decision frame:
-
Stay on Pro if:
- You’re a single data-driven leader or builder
- You primarily need 1–3 systems connected (e.g., Salesforce + Snowflake + PostgreSQL)
- 250 questions / month is enough to cover your personal or team-lead usage
-
Move to Deploy Anywhere (Teams) if:
- You want multiple teams using Minds Enterprise
- You need unlimited questions and more than 3 data sources
- You require on-premise or VPC deployment, SSO/LDAP, and strict governance
- You’re embedding Minds as part of your own product (customizable UI & OEM)
Final takeaways
- Pro plan question limit: 250 questions per month on your cloud instance
- Pro plan data source limit: Up to 3 connected data sources at a time
- Supported on Pro: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Google BigQuery, Salesforce, Snowflake
If that fits your current usage, Pro is the fastest way to move from “waiting days for dashboards” to “asking questions in minutes—directly against your live systems, with no ETL or data movement.”
