You can also get TablePlus though a Setapp[1] subscription. (Unfortunately Setapp is also licensed on a per device basis, but you get 2 Macs out of box and you could buy extra seats at $5/mo/seat.[2] I think named licenses are hard to offer because a lot of people abuse them by sharing with coworkers and friends.)

Having used TablePlus for a couple months with both Postgres and SQLite, I only have positive things to say.

For Mac apps, one can simply bind the license to the user's name, with some allowance for edit distance (and a few automated name changes), which can solve the casual license sharing. Adding a "Licensed to John Smith" message during load time also helps with this.
