Baserow

Baserow is an open-source, no-code database platform — a self-hostable alternative to Airtable — that lets teams organize information in flexible spreadsheet-databases and build lightweight applications without writing code. You create tables with rich field types, link records across tables, and view your data as grids, kanban boards, galleries, forms, and more, collaborating in real time. Because Baserow is open source and can be self-hosted, teams that want full control over their data (for privacy, compliance, or cost reasons) can run it on their own infrastructure, while others use the managed cloud.

The platform combines a familiar spreadsheet feel with database power and extensibility. Rich field types, relationships, filters, sorting, and multiple views make it easy to model real workflows; forms collect data straight into tables; and a REST API plus webhooks let developers integrate Baserow with other systems. Baserow adds real-time collaboration, permissions, an application builder for simple interfaces, a plugin architecture, and AI features — positioning itself as a flexible data backbone that is open, affordable, and not locked to a single vendor. Its open-source core is a key differentiator against proprietary tools.

Baserow serves teams, developers, and organizations that want a flexible, open-source no-code database. It is free to self-host (open source); the managed cloud offers a Free plan for getting started, a Premium plan around $5/user/month (advanced views, exports, and features), an Advanced plan around $20/user/month, and a self-hosted Enterprise plan for large organizations, with annual discounts and per-active-user pricing. It competes with Airtable, NocoDB, Directus, and Budibase, differentiating on being open source and self-hostable with a spreadsheet-database experience.
