ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SQL Professional Editor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQLiteFlow has 49 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of SQLiteFlow'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SQLiteFlow ships an update fortnightly, SQL Professional Editor every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
