Baserow is an open-source, no-code platform for building databases and applications. Data lives in tables that can be viewed as a grid, gallery, kanban board, calendar, timeline, form or survey, and the same data can feed custom applications, dashboards and automated workflows. An AI assistant called Kuma can build a database from a plain-language description, and an AI field and MCP server bring language models into rows. Baserow Cloud has a free plan at $0 with 3,000 rows per workspace, while Premium costs $10 per user per month and Advanced $18, both billed yearly. Self-hosting is also available through Docker, Cloudron, AWS or Helm.
Operations managers, project leads and small business owners use it to move off scattered spreadsheets without writing code. Developers appreciate the API-first design, backend and frontend plugins and the option to host everything on their own servers. Compliance-minded teams in risk management, healthcare or finance can lean on GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 certification and audit logs on higher plans. Agencies and internal IT groups can build client portals on top of shared data, and IT departments that want to avoid vendor lock-in often pick it as an alternative to Airtable.
Typical projects include CRMs, task and project trackers, risk registers, ESG reporting, purchasing workflows, advertising campaign planners and manufacturing checklists. Templates cover many of these, and data can be imported from CSV, XML, JSON or Excel files. Automations send emails, call webhooks or HTTP endpoints and react to row changes, so a new record can notify a team or update another system. Dashboards turn table data into charts for managers, and external users on portals can view or submit information without taking a paid seat, up to 500 on most plans.
