Looking for a DataGrip alternative?
QueryDeck is a native macOS database client built with Swift, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB. $79 one-time, all your Macs, no subscription. Here's why developers are switching from DataGrip.
DataGrip is the right call when:
- You already live inside the JetBrains ecosystem (IntelliJ, PyCharm, GoLand) and the DataGrip plugin saves you context-switching.
- You ship across Windows, Linux, and macOS and want one tool everywhere. QueryDeck is macOS-only.
- You rely on DataGrip's deep schema refactoring (rename across stored procedures, triggers, complex views). QueryDeck's ORM-aware refactor is narrower.
