Billing, explained
RowCove is a local data workspace for inspecting, querying and safely editing data files on your computer. Its native Rust data engine handles local parsing, indexing, querying and persistence for large-file workflows.
The desktop data engine processes files locally. Account services receive your email and purchase status, not your datasets. If you connect an AI client through MCP, the tool results you request are shared with that client and may reach its model provider.
Preview is free and does not need an account. Inspect supported file information, schema and up to 100 records in a read-only first page. Pro adds full-file workflows and MCP; available operations depend on the reader.
Pro costs US$15 per month or US$150 per year. The yearly plan is billed upfront and saves US$30 compared with twelve monthly payments. Applicable taxes and the final total are shown at checkout.
Yes. Open Account and choose Manage subscription. Cancel renewal in the Paddle portal. Access continues through your paid period; approved full refunds revoke the refunded purchase.
After activation, the app keeps a device-bound signed license. It refreshes online. Licenses last up to three days with up to one extra day of offline recovery, never beyond the paid subscription end. Reconnect periodically to keep Pro active.
Windows is the currently validated desktop platform. macOS release acceptance is still pending. Check the release page for published builds.
No. Reader capabilities differ. CSV, JSONL, Parquet and Arrow have table workflows; database sources have explicit table selection. Some scientific and training formats currently expose metadata or archive members rather than decoded samples. See the format guide.
AI data engineers working with pretraining and post-training corpora, quantitative researchers with large market or backtest data, and people inspecting or editing GB-scale CSV, JSONL and columnar files.
TB-scale datasets are a target use case for scoped access through supported shards, partitions and projected fields. A TB-scale throughput and memory benchmark has not been established. Test a representative subset and plan scan, decompression and scratch-disk costs first.
Rust handles parsing, indexing, querying and persistence locally. Supported projection and partition pruning reduce unnecessary reads, while bounded results and virtualized views keep the desktop interface focused on the records you need.
