What is Vanna?
Vanna serves teams querying databases through questions. It generates SQL queries, displays results as tables and charts, controls access by user and embeds a data assistant in applications.

- turn a question into an SQL query
- query multiple types of databases

We file it under Spreadsheets and data analysis, the category of tools to analyse data and spreadsheets, and it also overlaps with developer tools and aI agent builders. The category lists 13 verified tools on this site.
The publisher is Vanna AI, Inc., based in United States.
Who is it for?
It is mostly useful to these profiles: data analysts and developers. The need it covers is simple to state: analyse data and spreadsheets.
Vanna is a good candidate if:
- you want to try before paying
- you plan to connect it to your tools or automations through its API
- you want to read the code or host it yourself
The best test is a concrete case from your daily work: if the tool does not beat your current method within a week, move on to an alternative.
How much does Vanna cost?
Pricing model: open source (public code). A free plan is offered, usually limited in volume or features.
The first paid plan costs $50 per month (Explorer, displayed monthly rate; advertised annual discount of 20%), according to the pricing page, checked on October 24, 2026.
Per month, that is more expensive than the category median ($20 per month, based on tools with a published price).
To estimate what the same work would cost done directly with an AI model, use our API price calculator. Prices change often: always check the official site before subscribing.
Data and privacy
According to its privacy policy, data is processed in several regions depending on the plan.
Exporting your content: yes (details on the official site). Being able to get your data back makes switching tools easier later.
Three habits apply to every AI tool:
- turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
- use a work account separate from your personal account
- review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it

Vanna runs on: web browser and API.
Interface languages: English.
A public API lets you call it from your own programs or an automation tool, and plug it into an AI agent.
The source code is public: vanna-aivanna-ai/vanna.
