Comparison
bzora vs Postico
Postico is one of the most polished native Postgres clients on the Mac — but it is macOS-only and speaks Postgres (and Postgres-compatible engines) only. bzora runs on macOS, Windows and Linux and also handles MySQL and SQLite. If you live entirely on a Mac and only touch Postgres, Postico is excellent; if you cross platforms or engines, bzora is built for that.
| bzora | Postico 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | €29 (≈ $32) one-time · every update free forever | $69 Personal (3 devices) · $99/device Commercial · one-time, perpetual |
| Free tier | 14-day full trial | No time limit, but some features disabled in the free mode |
| Databases | PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite | PostgreSQL only (plus Postgres-compatible: Redshift, CockroachDB, Greenplum) |
| Platforms | macOS, Windows, Linux | macOS only (requires macOS 14+) |
| Architecture | Native — single Go binary (Wails) | Native, sandboxed Mac app |
| Credential storage | OS keychain; nothing secret on disk | macOS Keychain (opt-in "Save in Keychain") |
Where they actually differ
Platform and engine reach. This is the whole decision. Postico is Mac-only and Postgres-only by design — that focus is part of why it feels so clean. bzora trades some of that Mac-native polish for working the same way across Windows and Linux and across Postgres, MySQL and SQLite in one window.
Security is comparable. Both store credentials in the macOS Keychain, so neither has a meaningful security edge over the other on the Mac.
Price. Both are one-time purchases. bzora is €29 (≈ $32) with every update included forever; Postico's Personal license is $69 for up to three devices. Close enough that price shouldn't be the deciding factor — platform and database support should.
Choose honestly
Choose bzora if…
You use more than one OS, or you need MySQL or SQLite alongside Postgres, and you want one consistent client everywhere.
Choose Postico if…
You're Mac-only, work exclusively in Postgres, and want the most refined, deeply Mac-native Postgres experience available.
