Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SQL Server Mobile Client at 77% against SQL Professional Editor's 0%. SQL Server Mobile Client also leads on ratings volume (56 vs 1). SQL Professional Editor's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SQL Server Mobile Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SQL Professional Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SQL Professional Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQL Server Mobile Client has 56 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of SQL Server Mobile Client's written reviews are positive against 0% of SQL Professional Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SQL Server Mobile Client ships an update every 3 weeks, SQL Professional Editor every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
