In their own words
Atlas
Atlas is a language-independent tool for managing database schemas and migrations through declarative, versioned workflows. It compares a database's current state with a desired schema expressed in HCL, SQL, or an ORM format, then can generate and execute a migration plan. Teams can lint and validate migrations, run safety checks, and test schemas and migrations. The open version supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, TiDB, and LibSQL; Pro adds drivers including SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, and Databricks. Atlas describes its core engine as open source under Apache 2.0, with advanced features in proprietary versions. Integrations include Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Bitbucket Pipelines, Azure DevOps, and a Go SDK. Starter is free. Atlas Pro costs $9 per developer per month, plus usage-based pricing for CI/CD pipelines and databases; new users can try Pro for 30 days. Schema Monitoring costs $39 per monitored database per month. Enterprise pricing is custom.
DataKitchen TestGen
DataKitchen TestGen profiles databases, generates data quality tests, and shows results and quality scores in dashboards. Its listed checks include 55 profiling characteristics, 32 hygiene detector tests, and 49 test types, including generated tests, business rules, and custom SQL. Monitors cover freshness, volume, schema, and custom metrics, using predictive models to flag changes such as late arrivals and schema drift. Supported databases include Snowflake, Databricks SQL, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure SQL Database, SQL Server, OneLake, BigQuery, Redshift, Aurora PostgreSQL, Oracle 12c and later, SAP HANA, PostgreSQL, and Salesforce Data 360. It can also profile and test structured data in Iceberg, Parquet, Avro, ORC, CSV, and JSON through supported external-table options. TestGen runs in the customer’s infrastructure; DataKitchen says it does not host the application or receive customer data. It queries target databases with read-only access and stores results and metadata in its application database. The free Open Source plan is limited to one user, one connection, and one project. Enterprise costs $100 a month, billed per user and per database connection.
