NocoDB vs Teable

NocoDB

• Teams that want a spreadsheet-style front end on Postgres or MySQL
• Self-hosters who want unlimited records and seats at no charge
• Larger teams, since Plus and Business billing stops at 9 seats

Teable

• Teams that want an Airtable-style database they can host themselves
• Building internal apps and dashboards on table data by chatting with AI
• Pulling structured fields out of files such as receipts, contracts and resumes

NocoDB

• The cloud Free plan stops at 1,000 records, 1 GB of storage, 3 editors and 1,000 API calls a month.
• The self-hosted Community edition is released under the Sustainable Use License, which NocoDB describes as fair-code.
• External database connections are not supported on the cloud Plus plan; they start at Business, with 10 connections.
• NocoDB says AI features, extensions and advanced form options are limited to its cloud and paid self-hosted versions.

Teable

• Free cloud spaces stop at 1,000 rows, 1 GB of attachments and 100 automation runs a month, and the 200 AI credits do not refill.
• Every Owner, Creator and Editor takes a paid seat on Pro and Business; Commenters and Viewers are free.
• The free self-hosted Community Edition has no automation or AI features; those need a paid self-hosted license.
• A self-hosted license is pre-paid and cannot be modified, downgraded or refunded once its key has been issued.

NocoDB

Spreadsheet interface for databases

Create an online database from scratch or connect an existing Postgres or MySQL database, then sort, filter and group records in a spreadsheet-like grid.

Multiple view types

The same data can be shown as a Grid, Form, Gallery, Kanban, Calendar or Map view, and the documentation also lists Timeline, Gantt and List views.

Workflows, scripts and webhooks

A visual workflow builder with triggers, actions, conditions and loops, JavaScript scripts with API access to a base, and webhooks that fire when records change.

Interfaces

Interfaces are focused apps built on the data in a base, with pages for dashboards, forms, tables and record detail. The cloud Free plan allows 1 interface of up to 3 pages.

Roles and access control

Five roles from Owner to Viewer, with access control at workspace, base, table, field and record level. Row-level security and audit logs are part of the Scale plan.

APIs and imports

Meta and Data APIs give programmatic access to bases, and data can be imported from Airtable, Excel, CSV and JSON files.

Teable

Grid, form, kanban, gallery and calendar

Records are edited in a spreadsheet-like grid or shown as kanban cards, an image gallery or a calendar. Form views collect submissions and save each one as a new record.

Linked records and formulas

Link-to-record, lookup and rollup fields connect tables and summarize related records, and formula fields calculate from other fields. A button field starts an automation from a record.

AI fields and AI chat

AI fields turn record data into summaries, tags, scores, translations or extracted values. The Cuppy chat sidebar analyzes the current table, view, selected records or files in plain language.

App Builder

Turns Teable data into apps, dashboards, portals and custom interfaces from a chat prompt. The Business plan adds a custom app domain and GitHub sync for the app's code.

Automations

Workflows start from record changes, form submissions, schedules, webhooks, button clicks or incoming email, and can run scripts, call HTTP APIs and send email. Monthly runs are capped by plan.

Connect and migrate

The AI chat can import data from Airtable, Baserow, NocoDB, SmartSuite and Smartsheet, and project data from Jira, Asana, monday.com or ClickUp, keeping fields and relationships.
