Comparison
Edgely Database Manager vs DBeaver, DataGrip and TablePlus
Differences in architecture and licensing, not a scorecard. Where DBeaver, DataGrip or TablePlus is the better fit for you, that is worth knowing before you switch.

Seven engines behind one client, DB2 coming soon
A database client is usually deep in one engine or broad across many. This one carries native drivers for seven engines and adds the measurement, migration and reporting work around them.
- Engines PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, ClickHouse and MongoDB
- Seven engines through native drivers, in the same grid, the same editor and the same keyboard map. DB2 is coming soon.
- Runtime A Rust core under a native grid
- Scroll millions of rows without paging or stalling: the result set is held and drawn by the core, not by a browser engine or a JVM.
- Benchmarking Benchmark Lab, with p50, p95 and p99
- Run a suite of queries, or one query from 1 to N parallel runners level by level, and keep the run as a self-contained HTML report.
- Migration Row-level diff, type mapping, dry run and a rollback script
- Compare two databases across engines, preview exactly what a migration would write, and keep the statements that undo it.
- Reporting Report Studio, with PDF export
- Bind charts, KPI cards and tables to a query on a drag-and-drop canvas, then export the result as a PDF or save the report file to open again.
- Bundling Included with every Console subscription
- Database Manager is 39 euros a year on its own, and the 79 euro Console licence unlocks both from one account.
Commonly compared with
Where others may suit you better
A dedicated single-engine tool knows that engine's newest syntax first. If you live entirely in one database and need day-one support for its latest features, that is a fair trade.
