# HTTPBot vs TablePlus

HTTPBot and TablePlus both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of TablePlus's written reviews are positive against 56% of HTTPBot's. TablePlus also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). HTTPBot's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 77) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HTTPBot sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and TablePlus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for HTTPBot against 4.4 for TablePlus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTTPBot has 1.3K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of HTTPBot's written reviews are positive against 77% of TablePlus's.

HTTPBot ships an update every 2 weeks, TablePlus weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
