Reasons to use DataGrip

It is an IDE. Version control such as Git sits next to your queries, and engines with complete support get code inspections and quick-fixes.^{Source 1Source 7}
It connects to engines TablePro does not support, such as Firebird, Informix and Databricks, with basic support through their JDBC driver.^{Source 7Source 1}
Non-commercial use is free, with every feature of the paid version.^{Source 4Source 2}

Differences that matter

TablePro is free for commercial work. Its daily Mac usage report is on by default and can be disabled in Settings. DataGrip’s free license is non-commercial only, with mandatory usage statistics.^{Source 4Source 2}
TablePro is a Mac app written in Swift, with native database drivers. DataGrip is built on the IntelliJ Platform.^{Source 1}
TablePro’s AI assistant is free in the Mac app; you choose a cloud provider or local model. Provider fees may apply. JetBrains AI has a credit quota and accepts your own provider key or a local model.^{Source 8}
Both have an MCP server. TablePro’s is free, listens only on your Mac, and lets each connection decide what outside apps may do: Blocked, Read Only or Read & Write.^{Source 6}
Compare & Sync compares two databases’ structure or data and generates a sync script. It is part of Starter.Starter plan
The separate iPhone and iPad app is free, with no in-app purchases. DataGrip has no mobile app.^{Source 3}

TablePro’s limits

TablePro is a client, not an IDE. A linked SQL folder shows each file’s Git status and history, but you stage, commit, push and branch in your own Git tool.
TablePro connects only to the engines it has drivers for, with no generic JDBC connection. Check the supported databases first.

Switching from DataGrip

Import DataGrip’s global data sources and recent projects’ data sources. DataGrip can stay closed, and its files are not changed.

In TablePro, choose File > Import > Import from Other App…
Select DataGrip. Turn on Include passwords to read the passwords DataGrip saved in the macOS Keychain, including SSH passwords and key passphrases.
macOS asks for your login password once for each saved password. Choose Always Allow on each prompt.
Review the list, decide what happens to any duplicates, and click Import. Groups, SSH tunnels and SSL settings come across. A connection to an engine TablePro does not support arrives unchecked.
Before you remove DataGrip, open a connection that had a password to check that it came across.

Consoles, scratch files, query history and keyboard shortcuts stay in DataGrip.
Passwords that DataGrip keeps behind a master password cannot be read. Those connections arrive without them, and you set the passwords in TablePro.

Questions

Does TablePro’s AI assistant need a plan like JetBrains AI?

No TablePro AI plan is required. Add a provider key, supported account or local model. Provider fees may apply; no AI requests are sent before setup. AI setup and data handling.

DataGrip has an MCP server too. What does TablePro’s do?

It lets clients such as Claude Code and Cursor use your saved TablePro connections without seeing a password. It listens only on 127.0.0.1, each connection is Read Only to outside apps unless you change it, and it is free. DataGrip has had its own since version 2025.2.

Can I paste a JDBC URL from DataGrip?

Yes, for engines TablePro supports. File > Import > Import from URL… reads jdbc: URLs as well as postgres:// and mysql:// ones. To bring every data source over at once, use the importer described above.
