Alternative

Looking for a TablePlus alternative?

QueryDeck is a native macOS database client built with Swift, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, and Redis. $79 one-time, all your Macs, no subscription. Here's why developers are switching from TablePlus.

Honest verdict

TablePlus is the right call when:

  • You also work on Windows or Linux. TablePlus is cross-platform; QueryDeck is macOS-only.
  • You only need a single-device license and never expect to read a Drizzle or Prisma schema. TablePlus Basic at $99 is honestly fine for that.
  • You want years of public refinement: TablePlus has been shipping since 2018; QueryDeck launched in 2026.
