Our take
Pick AskYourDatabase if you're an analyst who will buy a desktop seat, or product teams embedding a DB chatbot. Pick Outerbase if you're ops and analysts who will connect a transactional DB and stay inside EZQL limits. Skip AskYourDatabase if you're controllers who need a ledger (Puzzle). Skip Outerbase if you're on a finance team that need posted books (Digits), or a $9 SQL fixer without a table UI (AI2SQL).
