# PostgreSQL Client vs ApiClient

The clearest difference is rating: PostgreSQL Client at 4.6 against ApiClient's 1.0. PostgreSQL Client also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months). ApiClient's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PostgreSQL Client sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ApiClient sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PostgreSQL Client holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PostgreSQL Client has 153 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of PostgreSQL Client's written reviews are positive against 100% of ApiClient's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PostgreSQL Client ships an update every 4 weeks, ApiClient every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
