Why look beyond TablePlus?

TablePlus is beloved for its snappy native feel, but it was designed for solo work. The moment you need to co-edit a query, enforce permissions, or stop pasting SQL into Slack, its limits show.

Which SQL editors include built-in collaboration?

As of 2025, only a handful of IDE-style tools ship multiplayer features natively. galaxy.io" target="_blank" id="">Galaxy leads the pack, while DataGrip relies on Git syncing and DBeaver needs external plug-ins. Notebook platforms like Hex offer sharing, but their UI skews toward analysts rather than developers.

How does Galaxy compare to TablePlus?

Speed and UX

Galaxy is a desktop app that opens large schemas in milliseconds – performance on par with TablePlus.

Collaboration

Workspaces, live cursors, and edit history let multiple engineers co-write SQL without conflicts.

Sharing and governance

Collections organize and endorse trusted queries so the whole team can reuse them safely. Role-based access control keeps prod data protected.

AI copilot

Context-aware AI completes, explains, and refactors queries using your schema – something TablePlus lacks.

What collaboration features come standard in Galaxy?

  • Real-time editing with presence indicators
  • Granular Viewer, Editor, Owner roles
  • Run/edit history with diff view
  • Comment threads on individual lines
  • Link-share queries instead of copy-pasting SQL

Is Galaxy secure enough for production data?

How do I try it?

Download the free tier, connect your PostgreSQL, Snowflake, or MySQL database, and invite a teammate. Upgrading to the Team plan unlocks unlimited collaboration for just $20/month.

The bottom line

If you love TablePlus but need native sharing, permissions, and AI, Galaxy is the fastest path from solo SQL to team-ready workflows.
