What is Databricks Free Edition?
Databricks Free Edition is a no-cost version of Databricks designed for students, educators, hobbyists, and anyone interested in learning or experimenting with data and AI.
Free Edition gives you an easy-to-use Databricks workspace where you can explore datasets, build and share projects, and work with AI and machine learning tools. It’s ideal for learning, prototyping, and collaborative exploration.
What can you do with a Free Edition account?
Databricks Free Edition is available in a serverless-only, quota-limited environment that contains many of the same features included with the full Databricks platform, with some limitations (see Databricks Free Edition limitations). With a Free Edition account, you can do the following:
Build AI applications and agents: Prepare data, experiment with foundation models, and deploy, evaluate, and govern AI systems.
Collaborate on data science and ML projects: Use shared notebooks to work with others in real time and publish results for others to review. Ideal for group projects, tutorials, and collaborative experimentation.
Explore and analyze real datasets: Use the SQL editor or notebooks to build hands-on experience with querying and visualizing real data.
Create interactive dashboards: Using Genie, interact with and visualize your data using natural-language prompts.
Design and test data pipelines: Ingest, transform, and orchestrate data across different sources using Lakeflow.
Access the Databricks Assistant: Use the Databricks Assistant to get in-product coding help. The Assistant can suggest, explain, and fix code directly within notebooks, queries, and files.
