Some parts of the UI in Table Plus have been inspired by Postico, which is probably why it looks similar at a first glance. But the apps are different, and they have a very different focus. As far as I can tell Table Plus tries be the best client for everybody (every platform + every databases), while Postico tries to be the best client just for PostgreSQL on the Mac.

As the developer of Postico I'm probably biased, and I'm not really up to date where Table Plus is right now, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. You probably have to try both to see which of the two clicks with you.

Thanks for your work on Postico. Was looking for a Mac based GUI when I made the switch from MySQL to Postgresql almost 10 years ago. Sequel Pro was my go to interface for understanding my database tables in MySQL and I wanted something similar for Postgresql. I bought a license years ago and it is part of my daily workflow. Didn't know about v2, will have to check that out!

It feels weird to say but postico is what finally convinced me use postgres as my main db almost a decade ago.

The tools are the face of the database and while I didn’t love MySQL, sequel pro made working with it really nice.

And all the postgres guis at the time were really ugly.

When Postico came around I could finally have a smooth experience running queries and I’ve never looked back.

Now if redgate added PG support to sql data compare I’d be in Heaven.

Thanks so much for your work on Postico. I use it every day and recommend it highly. It’s fast, stable, and a Mac app through and through (increasingly a rarity).

Hey I bought a license for postico recently because I used it for six months everyday. Love it, all the best. Thanks

I've been using Postico for years and love it.

The only feature I miss is some sort of schema designer.

Postico is fantastic, thanks for all your work. Also Table Tool is very useful.
