# PostgreSQL Client vs Charts

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Charts at none against PostgreSQL Client's 1. Charts also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). PostgreSQL Client's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (157 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Charts holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PostgreSQL Client has 157 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of PostgreSQL Client's written reviews are positive against 100% of Charts's.

PostgreSQL Client ships an update every 2 weeks, Charts every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
