What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isAn open-source, Airtable-style database with an app builder, automations and AI, available hosted or self-hosted.
Our takeBaserow's main draw is choice.
You can start free in the cloud, pay per user as you grow, or run it yourself with no row limits. The feature set now goes well past tables, with apps, automations and AI. The free cloud plan is fine for trying it but narrow: three views, 3,000 rows and community-only help. Teams that self-host trade fees for server work.
Why we rate itGenerous free self-hosting, open-source code and a broad no-code feature set.
The catchFree cloud is limited to 3 views and 3,000 rows, and direct support starts on Advanced.

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Minutes in the cloud; longer if you self-host with Docker or Helm.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Row caps per workspace (3,000 free, 50,000 Premium, 250,000 Advanced) push upgrades.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: open-source code, CSV export, and workspace export from Baserow Cloud to a self-hosted install.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Baserow completely free?

The self-hosted version is free with no row, storage or API limits, though Premium features cost extra. Baserow Cloud is free up to 3,000 rows and 2 GB per workspace; Premium is $10 per user a month billed yearly (checked 4 October 2026).

How much does Baserow cost?

Cloud plans are Free, Premium at $10 per user a month billed yearly ($12 monthly), Advanced at $18 ($22 monthly), and Enterprise on request (checked 4 October 2026).

How does Baserow compare to Airtable?

Both are spreadsheet-style databases. Airtable's free plan allows 1,000 records per base and its Team plan is $20 per user a month billed yearly. Baserow's free cloud plan allows 3,000 rows per workspace, its code is open source, and it can be self-hosted.

What are the limitations of Baserow?

On the free cloud plan: 3,000 rows and 2 GB per workspace, three view types and community support. The hosted API allows 10 concurrent requests. Self-hosting removes row and storage limits but makes you responsible for the servers.

Is Baserow a CRM?

Not by itself. It is a general database and app builder, but you can build a CRM from templates and sync customer data from HubSpot.

Is Baserow safe?

Baserow states HIPAA, SOC 2 and GDPR compliance, lists two-factor authentication, audit logs and single sign-on among its plan features, and can be self-hosted so data stays on your servers.
