In their own words
Apollo Client
Apollo Client is a JavaScript library for managing GraphQL data in applications. It can fetch, cache and modify data from local and remote sources, then update the interface as data changes. Developers describe a query and receive its data without manually managing loading states. Normalized caching can make responses to cached queries almost immediate. The core @apollo/client library has built-in React integration, including hooks and Suspense, and the library can be added incrementally to JavaScript or TypeScript applications. It works with any build setup and GraphQL API. Community integrations extend support to frameworks including Angular, Vue, Svelte, Solid.js and Ember, as well as native iOS and Android. Apollo Client also supports GraphOS Router features such as incremental delivery, subscriptions and persisted-query safelisting. Chrome and Firefox extensions provide GraphiQL and tools for inspecting watched queries, mutations and cache. Apollo Client is free and open source. GraphOS Free includes one self-hosted router limited to 60 requests per minute; the separate Developer plan is $5 a month, billed monthly.
Hasura
Hasura is a hybrid API platform that generates data APIs over connected databases, so developers do not need to write handlers, schemas, or resolvers. Hasura Cloud plans provide instant GraphQL APIs, RESTified endpoints, and GraphQL subscriptions. Listed database sources include Postgres-compatible systems, Microsoft SQL Server, BigQuery, Amazon Athena, Snowflake, MySQL, Oracle, MariaDB, MongoDB, and ClickHouse. APIs can be extended with remote schemas, remote joins, Actions, and event or scheduled triggers. Authorization can use an authentication provider of the customer’s choice, with JWT controls through headers, cookies, or webhooks. Cloud hosting is available on AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure Cloud. The Community Edition can run from a Docker image, while Enterprise Edition supports on-premises deployment. Hasura Cloud also lists GitHub, observability integrations, query allow lists, access controls, and DDoS monitoring. Plans include a free tier and paid options.
