Analyst verdictSpreadsheet interface on top of your own SQL database
The best pick when your data already lives in a SQL database, and the cheapest at team scale: you pay for at most 9 editor seats.
What it is
NocoDB turns PostgreSQL or MySQL into a spreadsheet-style interface with views, forms, workflows and an API, cloud or self-hosted (free Community edition). Cloud plans billed yearly: Free (up to 3 editors, 1,000 records), Plus $12 per editor a month (50,000 records), Business $24, Scale $45, Enterprise custom; Plus and Business bill at most 9 editors, so larger teams pay a flat price. Checked November 2026.
Best for
- Teams with existing SQL data
- Large teams who want flat pricing
What we like
- Works on your existing database
- Pay for at most 9 editors on Plus and Business
- Free self-hosted Community edition
What to watch
- Interface less polished than Airtable
- External database connections need Business
- Free cloud plan is very limited
