TablePlus is the only thing I've used cross-platform that is even close to Postico. Postico is amazing.


Interesting. I’m currently using Postico on Mac, but considering TablePlus. Why do you find Postico superior?


Sorry for the late response, missed this somehow. I'm realizing as I try to write this that it is a bunch of small things, and maybe it boils down to having used it a long time or it being my first non-garbage (SSMS, PGAdmin) UX db tool. The autocomplete seems to work exactly as I'm expecting, the filtering seems to work a little better than TablePlus. Copying and pasting is a bit more consistent (I do this a lot while dev'ing). The whole UI is lightning fast and always stays responsive.

That all being said, TablePlus is 80 - 90% of that and the fact that it also works with multiple databases is huge. I also love the vertical tabs for multiple connections, editor sidebar pane for single records and tabbed queries vs a single query pane.

Both are fantastic, but if I was postgres only I'd probably stick with postico. As-is I just paid for both.
