QueryGlow vs TablePlus:
Stop Paying Per Device

TablePlus is beautiful. But at $89 per device, a 5-person team pays $445+. QueryGlow is $79 once—for your entire team, from any browser.

Common TablePlus Pain Points

Per-Device Licensing

TablePlus charges $89 per device. New laptop? Pay again. New team member? Pay again. It adds up fast.

Desktop-Only Access

TablePlus lives on your laptop. Working from a different machine? Helping a colleague? You're locked out.

No Shared Connections

Each team member configures their own connections. Credentials scattered across devices. No central management.

No AI Assistance

TablePlus makes you write every query by hand. No natural language to SQL. No schema-aware suggestions.
