What Redgate pgCompare is

Redgate pgCompare is a cross-platform database comparison tool for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The Standard plan adds deployment script generation, pre-deployment warnings, targeted deployment, and a visual diff interface. A free Community plan is available for non-commercial use or qualifying small businesses with under $1 million in annual revenue and fewer than 250 employees. Standard costs $93 a year, billed at $93 per user, per year. The product does not list source control or CI/CD integration. Its pricing model is freemium, so eligibility for the free plan is an important distinction when choosing an edition. Redgate was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom. pgCompare is designed for users comparing schemas and preparing migration work across supported desktop operating systems.

Who it suits

It suits developers and database teams comparing schemas and preparing migration scripts. Community is for qualifying non-commercial or small-business use; Standard adds deployment-focused features.
