Alternatives to DataGrip
JetBrains' database IDE
DataGrip ranks #5 of 9 in Database GUIs, with an Alt Score of 68. It is proprietary, sold by subscription from €10.90/month (personal) and available on Windows, macOS and Linux. 8 of 10 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Developers, DBAs, and data teams who work across multiple relational and NoSQL databases and need a single IDE instead of separate database-specific clients.
A cross-platform database IDE with an intelligent query console, context-aware SQL completion based on actual table/foreign-key structure, on-the-fly error detection with quick fixes, and data import/export in formats like CSV, JSON, and Excel. It supports 20+ database engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, Snowflake, BigQuery, and cloud platforms like AWS/Azure) and integrates with Git, SVN, and Mercurial for version control.
You connect to one or more data sources, browse and edit schemas and data through the IDE, and write and run queries in the console with completion, history, and optional AI assistance; results, query history, and changes are tracked locally and can be versioned through connected VCS.
