We are inspired by https://explain.depesz.com/ and https://tatiyants.com/pev/ and would be very interested in how people think pgMustard compares. Thanks!

Well I was just about to post a link to the tatiyants page ;)

Sign-up is a huge barrier to people trying it out, especially given that there are high-quality alternatives without that roadblock. For me personally the loginwall is enough for me to not use it.

Yup, login is a no-go for me, especially since they want to tie to a Google login. That's an absolutely no-go.

But I do appreciate them telling me about the competition, so that I can use them.

Thank you, we've heard that a couple of times now!

Versus tatiyants we think the main advantages are if you have a lot of operations in a query plan, or if you need some help working out what to do to speed it up.

If you come across either of those, it'd be great to hear what you think.
