The best Airtable alternative is Baserow, an open-source no-code database with familiar views, apps and automations at $10 per user a month, or free and unlimited when self-hosted. NocoDB is best when your data already lives in SQL and for large teams (you pay for at most 9 editors), Teable is best for AI built into the database, and Notion is best when your tables sit alongside docs and wikis.

Questions buyers ask
What is the best free alternative to Airtable?
Baserow or NocoDB self-hosted: both are free with no row limits on your own server. In the cloud, both have free plans with low row caps.
Is there an open-source Airtable alternative?
Yes. Baserow (mostly MIT licensed), NocoDB (free Community edition) and Teable can all be self-hosted.
What is cheaper than Airtable for a large team?
NocoDB: its Plus and Business plans bill at most 9 editor seats, so a 40-person team pays the same as a 9-person team.
