Compare before you buy
Several tools here do the same job. Each app page lists real alternatives, so you can compare a database client with others like it before buying a licence.
How we check these deals
Every offer here comes from a public source: the community-reviewed Awesome Black Friday list, the Indie App Sales event, or a store listing. Terms are quoted as published, so a line on this page should match what the maker wrote.
Paying doesn't change the order of these deals, and we don't invent discounts. Makers can pay for a Featured spot, which is a separate section marked as including paid placements. If a deal has no end date listed, we say nothing rather than guess. Prices can change, so confirm the final price at checkout.
Questions people ask
Do these licences cover Windows and Linux?
Some do. Each card lists its platforms, and each deal's terms state any device limit.
How can I tell if a Black Friday discount is real?
Compare the deal price with the price the app normally sells for on its own site, not with the list price shown by a reseller. Very large percentages on a reseller page often start from a list price almost nobody pays.
