TablePlus

Native database GUI.

What it is

TablePlus is a native database GUI focused on speed and a clean interface, covering the common engines. It is fast, native and stays out of the way, which is the whole pitch against heavier cross-platform clients. Advanced modelling and administration features are thinner, so DBAs usually keep a second tool.

TablePlus pricing

TablePlus publishes 3 plans. Paid tiers start at $79/user/mo.
