TOPCAT is used in training for use of virtual observatories, including access via the Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL). The STILTS application complements TOPCAT with similar capabilities but is considered a steeper learning curve, however STILTS does have the advantage of being able to be scripted.

While TOPCAT is unable to visualise catalogues as a set of vectors it does have capabilities to explore correlations in two and three dimensional scatter plots. VisIVO is an alternative tool for working with virtual observatories. Muna, in his 2016 paper 'Introducing Nightlight: A New FITS Viewer', observes that SAOImage DS9, TOPCAT and Fv are the most common tools used to view FITS files. It is suitable for use as a graphical viewer and data editor of tabular data from FITS and other sources. Written in Java, TOPCAT can be used both standalone and within a web browser. Initially funded from the Starlink Project it has been funded by various other projects since. Taylor acknowledges inspiration for some features from Mirage from Bell Labs and VOPlot from VO-India. The project was initially developed by Mark Taylor, an astrophysicist from the University of Bristol in 2003.
