--- title: TablePlus canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/tableplus/ category: Database Client Software points: 65 rank: 10 of 12 facts_checked: 2026-10-08 --- # TablePlus Native database client for many SQL engines, with a one-time licence and a free version limited to two tabs. 65 points out of 100. #10 of 12 database clients. Vendor: TablePlus Inc. Website: https://tableplus.com/ - Basic costs $99 once for one device and includes 1 year of updates; you can keep using the version you have afterwards [1][7]. - The free version has no time limit but allows only 2 open tabs, 2 windows and 2 advanced filters [1][7]. - Docs name PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite and Oracle (Oracle on macOS only), plus Redis and Snowflake [3]. - Downloads exist for macOS, Windows and Linux; the Windows changelog lists 26.10.2 on 1 September 2026 [4][9]. - SSH connections are built in, and data exports to CSV, JSON or SQL [5][6]. Verdict: TablePlus suits developers who work across several SQL engines and want a one-time $99 licence instead of a subscription [1][3]. It has SSH, autocomplete and CSV or JSON export [5][6][8]. The catch: the docs show no query plan view, ER diagram or schema compare, and MongoDB support is labelled beta [3][9]. Best for: Developers who want a multi-engine client and prefer buying once. ## Points | Criterion | Line | Value | Points | Note | |---|---|---|---|---| | Systems | Other systems | macOS, Linux | 6/6 | The download page links macOS, Windows and Linux builds; the home page shows the same systems [2][4]. | | Databases | Main SQL engines | PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite | 15/15 | Docs list all five; Oracle is marked macOS only, and we count it because the rule counts any edition [3]. | | Databases | NoSQL and cloud engines | Redis, Snowflake | 4/8 | Docs list Redis and Snowflake (macOS and Windows); MongoDB is labelled Beta and BigQuery is not named in the docs [3]. | | Databases | JDBC or ODBC drivers | Not published | 0/4 | Not published on the vendor's docs pages [3][5]. | | Connections and trust | SSH tunnel | Yes | 8/8 | Connections can be configured over SSH with credentials or a private key; the docs call it built-in native SSH [5]. | | Connections and trust | Open-source apps | Not published | 0/6 | Not published; the vendor's GitHub repository hosts an issue tracker and shows no source code [11]. | | Connections and trust | Recent release | Yes | 3/3 | The Windows changelog lists TablePlus 26.10.2, build 394, on 1 September 2026 [9]. | | Tools | SQL code completion | Yes | 4/4 | Autocomplete suggests databases, tables, keywords and columns [8]. | | Tools | Visual query builder | Not published | 0/3 | Not published on the vendor's docs pages [3][5][8]. | | Tools | ER diagrams | Not published | 0/4 | Not published on the vendor's docs pages or changelog [9]. | | Tools | Schema or data compare | Not published | 0/4 | Not published on the vendor's docs pages or changelog [9]. | | Tools | Import from CSV or Excel | Yes | 4/4 | The Import menu offers From CSV and From SQL Dump [6]. | | Tools | Export formats | CSV, JSON | 2/3 | Docs say you can export to a CSV, JSON or SQL file; Excel is not mentioned [6]. | | Tools | Query plan viewer | Not published | 0/4 | Not published on the vendor's docs pages or changelog [9]. | | Tools | AI assistant | Not published | 0/3 | Docs describe an LLM chat client plugin and do not say it writes or explains SQL [10]. | | Price | Free edition | Yes | 6/6 | The licensing docs say it is free to use for as long as you need; limited to 2 tabs, 2 windows and 2 advanced filters, with no commercial-use limit stated [7].
