Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CodeMaster at 44% against SQL Client's 0%. CodeMaster also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). SQL Client's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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. CodeMaster sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and SQL Client sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
