DataGrip vs DBeaver

Our take

Pick DataGrip if developers who will stay on Free Non-Commercial while they open a first actor grid — then Individual at $10.90/mo (or $109/yr Y1) when the work is commercial, not TablePlus Basic $99 first unless they want a perpetual native client. Pick DBeaver if developers who will stay on Community free while they run a first Customer/Invoice join — then Lite at $113/yr when they need the visual query builder,
