DBPro has a clean UI and smooth inline editing. But the features that matter most — ERD, monitoring, AI review — are on DBPro's distant roadmap. PgStudio ships them now.
DBPro's public roadmap shows exciting features — but they're future promises. ERD viewer is planned for v8. Monitoring for v2. AI features for v5. PgStudio ships all of these today, battle-tested and production-ready.
| Feature | PgStudio | DBPro |
|---|---|---|
| ERD viewer | ✓ Available | v8 roadmap |
| Monitor dashboard | ✓ Available | v2 roadmap |
| AI query review | ✓ Available | v5 roadmap |
| Backup scheduling | ✓ Available | No roadmap |

| Inline editing | ✓ | ✓ |
| Autocomplete | ✓ | ✓ |
DBPro supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. This multi-database approach means features stay generic. PgStudio is PostgreSQL-only, which means every feature is optimized: partition management, extension management, materialized view refresh, full role/permission editing, domain and custom types.
PgStudio includes an AI Review engine that analyzes your queries in real time. It scores them, flags potential issues (missing indexes, N+1 patterns, implicit casts), and suggests optimized alternatives. Multi-provider support (DeepSeek, Claude, GPT) keeps costs under control while maintaining quality.
DBPro plans to add AI features in v5 of their roadmap. When those features arrive, they'll be new and untested. PgStudio's AI review has been shipping, collecting feedback, and improving since launch.
PgStudio includes a dedicated Monitor Dashboard that tracks active connections, slow queries, lock contention, table bloat, cache hit ratios, and replication lag. Data is collected continuously and displayed in real-time charts. Configurable alerting notifies you when thresholds are breached.
DBPro plans basic monitoring for v2 of their roadmap. There's no detail yet on what "basic" means — connection counts, query stats, or something more. PgStudio's monitoring is comprehensive and available right now.
DBPro at $9.99/month is competitive. PgStudio Free covers core features at no cost. PgStudio Pro at €19/month includes everything — AI review, unlimited connections, monitoring, backup. The question is: do you want to pay less for features that don't exist yet, or invest in features you can use today?
We believe in honest comparisons. DBPro has real advantages that matter.
DBPro is a well-designed tool with a bright future. The inline editing experience is genuinely smooth — among the best available. The price is accessible, and the development pace suggests the roadmap features will eventually ship. If you need a lightweight, affordable client for basic PostgreSQL work and are willing to wait for advanced features, DBPro is a solid choice. PgStudio is for teams who need those advanced features now.
Both tools serve PostgreSQL developers well — the question is whether you need advanced features today or can wait for them tomorrow.
You need ERD, monitoring, AI review, and backup automation today — not on a future roadmap. PostgreSQL depth and deployment flexibility matter to your team.
You primarily need a clean, affordable query client with great inline editing and can wait for advanced features to arrive in future versions.
