When should you consider it?
Best for developers who want schema-driven sample files or mock API responses without building a generator, and can work within hosted-service plans.
Editorial fit assessment based on the sources below.What are the limits?
Free browser files are capped at 1,000 rows and the free generation API at 200 requests per day. Bulk capacity, API records, and private deployment depend on paid plans.
Which capabilities are documented?
Documented means a cited vendor source describes this scoped capability. Not verified means the reviewed evidence cannot establish it. Neither is a hands-on test result.
How is it deployed and licensed?
Hosted at mockaroo.com for Free, Silver, and Gold; Enterprise is distributed as a Docker image for a private cloud or datacenter.
Commercial hosted service with free and paid plans; no open-source software license for the service is stated in the reviewed primary sources.

What should you verify in a proof of concept?
- Your database version, schema constraints and target formats.
- The exact product, edition, deployment and license entitlements.
- Your business assertions and the meaning of repeatability for your output.
- A failed run, cleanup and a repeat run on controlled inputs.
