Redgate pgCompare
It compares schemas and supports migration script generation.
What Redgate pgCompare is
It compares schemas and supports migration script generation. The Standard plan adds a visual diff interface, deployment script generation, pre-deployment warnings, and targeted deployment. 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’s pricing model is freemium. pgCompare does not include source control or CI/CD integration. Redgate was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom. For users comparing schemas and preparing deployments, the plan choice separates Community eligibility from Standard’s listed deployment features.
