How we grade them
| 3.2GPABaserowVery good | 3.4GPASeaTableVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BPremium is $10 a user a month billed yearly, or $12 monthly, which is bang on what this category typically charges. That buys 50,000 rows, all the views and the AI features. Role-based permissions, audit logs and single sign-on wait for Advanced at $18. | BPlus is €7 a user a month billed annually, or €9 monthly, before VAT. That's about typical for this category, and it buys 50,000 rows, 50 GB for files and private views. Enterprise is €14, and SeaTable Server is €500 a year for 10 users. |
| Free plan and trial | BBaserow Cloud is free for 3,000 rows and 2 GB per workspace, with 2,000 automation credits a month and only Grid, Form and Gallery views. That's tight for anything that grows. Hosting it yourself lifts the row and storage limits, but then the server is your job. | AThe cloud Free plan covers up to 25 users with 10,000 rows, 2 GB for files and the App Builder. A small team could stay on that. You do go without private views, row locking and column permissions. SeaTable Server is free for up to 3 users too. |
| Features | ALinked tables with more than 20 field types, an Application Builder for portals and internal tools, and automations with branches, conditions and loops. Kuma, the built-in assistant, sets up a database from a description. There's an open API and webhooks too. | ALinked tables with 26 column types, shown as a table, gallery, kanban board, timeline or calendar. There's a drag-and-drop App Builder on every plan, plus automations, web forms and scripts in JavaScript or Python. Python runs, automations and AI credits come with monthly quotas. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, so a B is as high as we go. On the cloud it looks like a spreadsheet, and Kuma will build a first database for you. Self-hosting is a bigger job: Docker, Helm, AWS or Cloudron. | BNo App Store rating on record, so a B is as high as we go. The cloud version is a spreadsheet-style table editor in your browser. SeaTable Server is another matter, as it installs on a Linux server or virtual machine. |
| Platforms and integrations | BIt runs in a browser and that's it, with no desktop or phone apps listed. It does connect well: Zapier, n8n, Make, Slack, an open API and webhooks. On Baserow Cloud the API is limited to 10 concurrent requests. | BIt's a web app first. There's an Android app, but the help center says it only simplifies access to SeaTable Cloud, and an iOS app is planned with no release date. Zapier, Make, n8n and an API handle the connections. |

- Automations
- No-code workflows with triggers, branches, conditions and loops, native HTTP, email and webhook actions, and third-party connectors. Runs draw on a monthly credit allowance.
