Baserow

Baserow is an open-source, no-code database platform and Airtable alternative that can be self-hosted for free or used via managed cloud. It offers rich field types, collaborative views, a REST API for every database, and growing AI features, appealing most to teams that value data ownership, customization, and cost control.

Baserow is a no-code database tool that lets teams build spreadsheet-like databases with rich field types, views, and collaboration, similar to Airtable. Its defining trait is that it is open source: you can self-host the community edition for free with unlimited usage, or use Baserow's managed cloud with paid tiers for premium and enterprise features. The platform exposes a REST API for every database, making it a practical backend for internal tools and integrations, and it has been adding AI capabilities for generating and working with data. Because it is open source and self-hostable, it appeals strongly to teams with data-sovereignty, cost, or customization requirements that hosted-only tools cannot meet. Baserow is a Dutch company, and its pricing separates the free open-source core from paid premium and enterprise features. On self-hosted deployments the paid tiers unlock advanced features while keeping usage effectively unlimited, whereas the cloud free plan has row and storage caps per workspace.
