Want a modern design with better usability.

Need to get the job done an don’t mind the slugginess.

Need an all-in-one tool that supports many databases.

It currently lacks of some advanced features such as ER Diagram, database compare tool to Diff and Sync, etc. TablePlus releases new updates regularly and responds to users’ requests almost immediately.

Smart query editor with highlight syntax, instant autocomplete, SQL reformat.

Very quick inline editing for table data and structure, you also can edit query results directly.

Streaming results and async loading to show queries results faster and doesn’t block the UI.

Queries history and keyword binding favorite.

Native build for each platform so it’s fast, lightweight, and stable.

SEQUEL PRO LICENSE

If you use it heavily, the license costs $59 to remove all those limitations.

SEQUEL PRO FULL

Pricing: TablePlus has a free version with full set of features which you can download and use forever, but there are some usage limitations. Supported Drivers: TablePlus supports a handful of relational databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, MariaDB, CockroachDB, Vertica, Oracle and two popular NoSQL databases: Cassandra and Redis. It started out with a native version for Mac, then another version for Windows, and a version for Linux was introduced recently as an alpha release. Supported platforms: TablePlus is built native for each platform. With a native build and a lightweight size, TablePlus is a very handy tool for managing multiple databases.

The autocomplete feature in query editor is slow and not so smart.

You might not know where to look for the function you need.

Confusing and unintuitive icon design.

It runs on a Java virtual machine, it consumes a lot of memory usage while running.

Entity-relationship diagrams are supported.

If you work on multiple operating systems, you can have a consistent experience across all systems.

SEQUEL PRO DRIVER

It has an enterprise edition (DBeaver EE) with more driver support, more advanced features and dedicated customer support for enterprises. Pricing: DBeaver has a free and open source community version (DBeaver CE). The enterprise adds support for non-JDBC datasources (WMI, MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis). Supported Drivers: DBeaver community version supports any databases that use JDBC driver (which means a lot of databases): MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle, to DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, MS Access, Teradata, Firebird, Derby, etc.

Starting from version 4.2, it limited its support to Windows, MacOS and Linux only. Supported Platforms: DBeaver used to work on all platforms supported by Eclipse framework (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX).

The development is stopped now.ĭBeaver provides a powerful database client for multiple drivers, but it’s a little bit overwhelming. This is a big problem in the current (2016 to present) version of Sequel Pro.

Filtering/Sorting data based on single constraint including equal to/in/like/between etc.

Full user management, credentials, and roles.

SEQUEL PRO PRO

Pricing: Sequel Pro is free and open source.

Since the recent MySQL 8.0 came out, it’s reported that Sequel Pro can’t connect to MySQL 8.0, it’s not working properly or just crashing. Supported Drivers: Sequel Pro only supports MySQL. Supported Platforms: Sequel Pro is available on macOS only. Sequel Pro had been long known for being one of the best GUI tools for MySQL, only until recently when it has compatibility issues with MySQL 8 and macOS Mojave. In this post, we are going to have a quick review of three database tools: Sequel Pro, DBeaver, and TablePlus along with pros and cons of each tool to see which is the one that matches your needs for database management tasks. Having a good GUI client would save us a lot of time working with databases.
