Switching to TablePro

TablePro imports saved connections from TablePlus, Sequel Ace, DBeaver, DataGrip, Beekeeper Studio and Navicat, including saved passwords. Navicat connections come from a file you export in Navicat.

There is no importer for Sequel Pro, Postico 2, HeidiSQL or phpMyAdmin. Add those connections by hand, or paste a connection URL.

How these pages are written

Every fact about another product comes from an official source: the product’s own website, documentation, repository, release notes or store listing, or the package manager or platform vendor that distributes it. Each page lists its sources with the date they were checked.

TablePro’s side comes from the same data as the rest of this site, so its prices, platforms and features match the pricing and feature pages.

There are no speed, memory or startup figures, because no measurement of these clients that others can reproduce was found to cite.

Prices and features change. If something here is out of date, open an issue on GitHub.
