# PostgreSQL Client vs PostgreSQL Visual Manager

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PostgreSQL Visual Manager at none against PostgreSQL Client's 1. PostgreSQL Visual Manager also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). PostgreSQL Client's advantage is ratings volume (153 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PostgreSQL Client sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PostgreSQL Visual Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.

PostgreSQL Visual Manager holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. 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.

PostgreSQL Client ships an update every 4 weeks, PostgreSQL Visual Manager every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
