# TablePlus vs PreGrade Ultra

The clearest difference is rating: PreGrade Ultra at 5.0 against TablePlus's 4.4. PreGrade Ultra also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). TablePlus's advantage is ratings volume (78 vs 2) and chart position (#133 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TablePlus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PreGrade Ultra sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
