Hey congrats @bramw1 and team. This is a perfect product to explore right now. Given the rising costs of using no-code tools something like this would be super helpful alternative to Airtable. I really like the approach that you took with the flexibility to get data in and out and have more control of your data. I really love this.
Great work and awesome to see @thisiskp_ hunting it!
@michaeljnovotny Enabling data portability and reducing vendor lock-in is great for everyone. Thanks, Michael 🙌
Hey PH fam 👋
Super thrilled to introduce Baserow to you and the wider world today!
I stumbled across Baserow on Twitter a few months ago and as someone who's always curating new cutting-edge no-code tools, this one piqued my interest right away. Why?
For years, I wondered if there would be an Airtable competitor as it has a near monopoly in the space and yet the market is so wide and open. Although there have been several attempts to challenge Airtable, Baserow stood out to me because it's open-source. Which means it's entirely customizable and developer-friendly and yet it's super accessible to the non-technical people on the team as well. Check out the wide range of templates, they blew my mind!
After trying out Baserow and getting to know the founders' vision, I instantly agreed to hunt it and share this powerful tool with the larger PH community! 🎉
In short, Baserow, is an Airtable alternative that helps people build databases with minimal technical prowess.
I am planning to explore the tool a lot further in the coming months, I hope you'll check it out and see if it makes sense for your projects and businesses.
Baserow's founder @bramw1 and rest of the team are all here today to answer your questions. Feel free to share your thoughts, feedback and questions below: ⤵️
Thank you for checking it out!
I discovered the product quite recently and so far, those are the things that I can tell about it:
- the dev team is quite active on Gitlab (bugs, feature requests) 👨🏻💻
- the v2 is all about stability and a good foundation that you can count on (had a quick chat about it with Bram) 🚀
- there are guides to several PaaS and it can of course be self-hosted 🏠
- clear explanation/setup on how to work with IntelliJ/VScode for further hacking
- support (on Discourse/LinkedIn) looks to be quite reactive even with 30'ish people total 🙌🏻
- a lot of integrations to come apparently, which is always welcome for OSS ⭐
- the pricing seems to be fair regarding price/feature
I'd recommend giving it a try if you need such a product and don't want to struggle with Airtable. 👍🏻
Baserow looks so promising, i am willing to invest much more time for the self hosted solution, thanks a lot to the team!!!

@edouard_guerle_aoki Thanks you Edouard, looking forward to welcoming you in the Baserow community 🚀
So cool. Congrats on the launch 🚀
What are some major differences between Baserow and Airtable?
Thanks @5harath! We wrote a blog post about the differences a while ago. Would kindly like to refer you to there: https://baserow.io/blog/baserow-....
So when you say database, I immediately think database/SQL-like capabilities, being able to use query syntaxes and also doing remote data I/O. Is any of that available with Baserow? Also, what db engine do you use? I'd for sure use something like this for our Customer Success team, especially if I can integrate it with Segment!
Hi @florin_biro, Baserow is a no-code database, meaning you do relational database capabilities, but you use filters instead of queries to select the right data. We have an easy-to-use API to get data in and out. We're using PostgreSQL under the hood. Every table that's created in Baserow, will also be created in PostgreSQL. If you self-host, you can connect to the PostgreSQL database directly and use queries.
@florin_biro We also have a formula field that is just a simpler way of writing SQL queries.
I'm using Baserow in my consultations and automations with N8N and it really is a fantastic tool. highly recommended.
I've used Baserow for multiple automation setups in my company. Both simple and advanced.
I can highly recommend it 🔥
