Superb open source project management tools
I love using Baserow, it helped my team to manage the task.
Baserow provides open source version, which helped a lot for nonprofit companies to manage their team and projects
- - There is no desktop version of baserow
- - Cannot add WYSIWYG page on an item/task

Baserow is excellent
Overall the experience is very positive and there are people behind committed to making Baserow better.
- Baserow is simply excellent and we use it to manage all our marketing in one central place
- It offers us an easy way to create a database, collect data and trigger automations via Make
- com
- Its a great and better alternative than Airtable
- Also the fact that there is a self-hosted option, make this really attractive
- We keep discovering new ways of using Baserow as we go, and we plan to use it as our central database to manage all kinds of activities
- At some times it might be a bit cumbersome to understand how it works or to find the exact solution to your problem
- However, we kept trying and thanks to the Baserow Community and their Support we always could figure it out
Why they chose it
"Open Source Solution, it was cheaper and the team seem great."

Baserow Review
Verified reviewer
Categories are flexible, the interface is easy to read, easy to collaborate with other in the company, less expensive than competitors
We need a mobile version, capability to create more Views, and an easier Search function

Highly recommended visual database for long-term use
I enjoy using Baserow and am happy to be part of the community. Open-sourcing your own product is not always easy in terms of intellectual property and old-school business mindset. I've migrated from Airtable/SmartSuite to Baserow and use Baserow for summary and visual data management that works well with other databases like Cloudflare D1 and MongoDB (integrated with Make.com). When it comes to Application Builder that the Baserow team is currently working on, according to their webinar, they plan to integrate other data sources and to develop a chart/graph feature, so I'm looking forward to using it. (Competitors/alternatives could be not only Airtable, but also Retool and Softr) Overall, Baserow is a cost-effective and strategic solution for your digital transformation.
- Cost effective from free to 5 USD per month - Simple and clean interface - Simple but useful API endpoints - Nice and supportive community - Application builder is evolving now - Open-source mindset and movement
- Application builder could have more feature (expectation for the future) - Filters should be sent as POST request rather than a GET parameter

Cost, simplicity, API-oriented feature, open-source
Why they chose it
"Open-source mindset and they might think that Baserow is a rich user interface (view/boundary) of other micro services in system integration."

Good, and improving
I believe a lot in Baserow, it's clearly not perfect yet, but it's far more reliable than Airtable for many use-cases (anything that is "backend-powered"). The product team is doing a good job, the tech team has mostly made great design decisions. Stuff could be better, but they're listening to their customers. I like to compare Baserow to Airtable, because they're very much alike UI-wise, and are meant for the same people, those who aren't necessarily deeply technical but who know how to design a DB. It's much more simpler than Supabase/Xano, and with the recent addition of the App Builder (Beta), it will become even better and usable by many more people.
- I love the fact it's open-source - Easy to deploy on self-hosted server - API is great and well designed - UI is good, although not as good as Airtable - Writing Formulas is a pain (UX can be improved) - Lookup/Rollup behave strangely with relationships - App Builder is the future
- - Airtable UI is better/faster - Airtable provide more features (sync tables)
Why they chose it
"I use both, but for different use-cases. Although, if I had to start today, I'd pick Baserow for most of it."

Free and easy to use
We have helped several clients who want to be able to edit spreadsheets and show that data in real time on an application set up base row. We have also helped several people move off of air table onto base road to save the money!
Our team loves how easy it is to set up new tables and how cheap it is compared to Airtable
We prefer the cloud hosted option over the self hosted option, and don’t have a lot of negatives

It's easy to create databases and project management systems
Overall I'm very happy with Baserow, and it allows me to deal with the information I need for a fair price.
The huge ammount of field types, which allows the creation of very complete and complex information systems easily
- On the premium plan (the middle plan) the number of rows per workspace (10
- 000) is very low
- This number should be higher
Switched From
The price of Airtable increased and it became too expensive.

Why did I ever use Airtable?
Great for managing all the data in dev and organize it before putting it in our primary database.
- Infinite rows
- Needed in products like these
- The load time, the lack of Google cloud setup support, every so often it'll be buggy and I'm not sure what resources to upgrade - does it need more memory
- A larger machine
- Another instance
- That feedback would be remarkable
Switched From
Lack of infinite rows. I need to be able to just list item after item without getting blocked.
