What commenters say

  • The per-device pricing model of TablePlus is outdated and unreasonable, as it requires users to purchase multiple licenses for different devices.
  • Some users find the pricing model acceptable and believe it is fair to pay for separate licenses for different use cases.
  • A licensing model that allows use on multiple devices, but only one at a time, could be a more acceptable compromise.
  • The use of a subscription-based model, such as the one offered by Setapp, can provide more flexibility and value for users.
  • Some users prefer to own software outright rather than rent it through a subscription model.
  • The pricing model may be a trade-off for the low cost of the software, which is cheaper than some alternative tools.
  • Users who have purchased TablePlus are generally satisfied with the product and its continuous improvements.
  • The lack of flexibility in the licensing model may drive users to consider alternative database management tools.
