Alternative

Looking for a TablePro 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 TablePro.

Honest verdict

TablePro is the right call when:

  • You manage 10+ exotic engines (Cassandra, ClickHouse, Trino, etc.) every day. TablePro covers 18+ backends; QueryDeck covers 5.
  • You also need an iPad workflow. TablePro ships on iOS; QueryDeck is macOS-only.
  • You require a fully open-source tool. QueryDeck stays closed-source.

01Why switch from TablePro
×

General-purpose database browser with no project awareness.

×

No ORM auto-detection. You still copy-paste connection strings from your .env.

×

No query notebooks. Query tabs only, no way to mix SQL with documentation.

×

No native map preview for spatial data. Geometry columns surface as text at best. To see a polygon or a courier path you still open a browser viewer.

×

AGPLv3 license can be a blocker for enterprise or commercial embedding.

×

18+ databases is impressive but most app developers only use 2-3.

02What you get with QueryDeck

CLI auto-detects your ORM (Prisma, Drizzle, TypeORM, SQLAlchemy, Eloquent) and connects instantly.

SQL notebooks: mix SQL, Markdown, and results in one exportable document.

Project-aware: understands your ORM schema, not just the raw database.

Native MapKit overlay for PostGIS. Double-click any geometry cell to inspect points, lines, polygons, and multi-geometries on Apple Maps without leaving the grid.

Focused on the 5 databases app developers actually use.

Standard proprietary license, no AGPLv3 concerns for enterprise.
