The Toad® for Oracle family just got simpler, smarter, and more powerful.
With the release of Toad for Oracle 2025 R3 (25.3), we’ve unified the product into a single version that supports all license types and platforms—giving every user the same trusted experience whether on-premises or online, Windows or Mac.
Toad is now a single unified version.
No more separate installers for on-premise and online subscriptions. Whether you have a perpetual license or a subscription, you’ll use one version of Toad that supports all license types—online or offline—right out of the box.
This unified Toad experience means:
- One installer, one experience – deploy and manage Toad seamlessly across your organization.
- Flexible license support – for the first time, new licenses can be used interchangeably on Windows or Mac. There’s no need to purchase separate licenses—activate your license on either platform and go.
- Built-in AI capabilities – when you’re online, unlock AI-powered features such as AI Code with GitHub Copilot integration and AI Explain to write, optimize, and understand SQL faster than ever before.
- Consistent updates and support – enjoy a unified roadmap, faster updates, and world-class Quest support for all users.
Mac Users: Experience the Full Power of Xpert Plus
Toad for Oracle on Mac now delivers the most advanced bundle ever offered: the Xpert Plus Edition, which includes SQL Optimizer for Oracle on Mac—previously available only on Windows. Users with an Xpert Plus or higher license can now enjoy the same optimization, tuning, and productivity tools on macOS.
We’ve streamlined your support experience, too. All editions—Windows, Mac, and ancillary products—now share a single support and download portal: support.quest.com/toad-for-oracle

- Faster startup and smoother workspace switching.
- Enhanced Export DDL, Compare Schemas, and Jump Search performance.
