Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TablePro at none against PostgreSQL Client's 1. TablePro also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). PostgreSQL Client's advantage is ratings volume (157 vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
