Datark brings database browsing, SQL editing and SSH sessions to iPhone and iPad. Work with your own databases and servers from a native app. Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and SQLite, and browse MongoDB and Redis data. Available queries and editing tools vary by engine. MongoDB uses supported database commands rather than a JavaScript shell. Redis streaming and blocking commands are not supported. DuckDB is available in the Mac app only. - Save database and SSH profiles, with optional read-only mode. - Browse tables, columns, indexes and relationships, and view ER diagrams. - Sort, filter and page through rows; edit SQL data, set values to NULL and add rows. - Write SQL with history, saved queries, transactions and EXPLAIN. - Export CSV, JSON, SQL, Markdown, HTML and XML; import CSV and TSV into SQL databases. - Open SSH shells and tunnel database connections through SSH, with host-key checks. - Ask optional AI assistance about queries and schemas. Use a downloaded on-device model on compatible hardware, your own server, or a supported cloud AI service where available. AI features are unavailable in the China mainland App Store. Datark is free, with no Datark account, subscriptions or in-app purchases. The included SQLite sample works without an external account. Database, SSH and AI services are configured by you; external providers may require their own account and charges. Credentials are stored in the Apple Keychain. Cloud AI requires your permission before sharing, and generated queries do not run automatically. Datark has no tracking or analytics. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Russian.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Datark at every 3 days against Proxmox VE Companion's every 4 months. Proxmox VE Companion's advantage is chart position (#84 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
