Differences that matter

Every supported engine is free, including MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra and other non-relational databases. DBeaver offers NoSQL databases only in its paid editions.^{Source 2Source 7Source 9}
TablePro is a Mac app written in Swift, with native database drivers. DBeaver is built on Java, and its download includes a Java runtime.^{Source 1}
The AI assistant and the MCP server are free in the Mac app. You choose the AI provider, and the MCP server lets clients such as Claude Code or Cursor use your saved connections without seeing a password.
Compare & Sync compares the structure or the data of two databases and syncs the differences. It is part of Starter.Starter plan
The separate iPhone and iPad app is free, with no in-app purchases.

TablePro’s limits

TablePro requires a supported driver. There is no generic JDBC connection, so check the supported databases first.
The ER diagram is a read-only snapshot, and there is no visual query builder or task scheduler.

Switching from DBeaver

Import connections from a DBeaver workspace, from Community or a paid edition. DBeaver can stay closed, and its files are not changed.

In TablePro, choose File > Import > Import from Other App…
Select DBeaver and turn on Include passwords. TablePro decrypts the passwords DBeaver saved, so there is nothing to approve in the Keychain.
Review the list, decide what happens to any duplicates, and click Import. Folders become groups, and SSH tunnel settings come across. A connection to a database TablePro does not support arrives unchecked.
Before you remove DBeaver, open a connection that had a password to check that it came across.

SQL scripts, query history and keyboard shortcuts stay in DBeaver.

Questions

Does TablePro need Java?

No. TablePro is written in Swift and talks to databases through native drivers. Drivers for common databases come with the app, and the others download the first time you choose that database.

How do speed and memory use compare with DBeaver?

There is no reproducible benchmark cited here, so this comparison makes no speed or memory claims. DBeaver bundles a Java runtime; TablePro does not require Java.

What happens to DBeaver connections TablePro cannot open?

They appear in the import list, unchecked, with the reason beside them. Nothing is imported for them unless you check them.
