How does it compare to Sequel Pro ( https://www.sequelpro.com/ ) that would make me want to pay?

I've used both for some time. TablePlus has a beautiful UI and looks better than Sequel Pro for sure, but I find Sequel Pro to be more capable and easier to use. Redis support of TablePlus isn't too great either (searching on keys doesn't work), so I need to use another tool for Redis management anyway.

Is anyone aware of software like this, but web based (saas)?

phpMyAdmin?

It is nice for free and in a few deployment scenarios. I do feel like it encourages bad practices however (e.g. not using a VPN to manage databases, but rather relying on web authentication).

This piece of software is superb. It's lightning fast, the UI is so easy to use, in terms of productivity it's super nice (small things like "copy as an insert statement"). It has been my daily driver for months now, but only for personal projects. I tried to get a license at work, but our lawyer said their EULA is a no-go :(

Can you elaborate on what it was about the EULA that was a problem?

IANAL but I really don’t see anything problematic here, it’s all standard boilerplate digitally distributed software stuff. Maybe he thought the ownership clause was a little too broad?

Ever since hearing about TablePlus (here), I've been using it for side projects. I tried to introduce it at work but the lack of Oracle support in the windows client was an issue.

Thanks, but isn't that only mysql mostly? TablePlus supports a very wide range of databases, I'm looking for a single database manager in the cloud for multiple different db types (postgres, mysql, mongo, etc).

Especially the last point in the second excerpt was the issue.

I think this depends on the database rather than the software itself.
