#2The application looks and feels nice, but the per-device pricing/licensing model seems severely outdated to me. I will not make a purchase unless named licenses, which enable me to use the application on all devices and operating systems I use (with reasonable limits if DRM is needed for some reason), are available.

#5I love the licensing model. No crappy "pay us for the privilege of using the software every month and year" like Adobe does. Just plain perpetual licence like Affinity. We need more projects like that.

If you have 2 computers just buy 2 licenses?

I asked them about that a year ago and they weren't interested in changing the model then.

I don't condone pirating software, but this is the kind of licensing that makes me understand it to a degree.

#9I've been using it for the past year and it's my go to app for managing PG databases. As much as I love SQL, TablePlus makes certain actions like inserts/updates/import really convenient especially when you're working with dev databases.

Except it's licensed per computer and not per seat. I'm not sure what they're trying to achieve with it. I have two personal devices, not to mention dual booting Linux some of the time.
