What Baserow is

Baserow is an open-source platform for building databases and custom applications without technical knowledge or code. It offers Grid, Form, and Gallery views on the Free plan, with all views available on Premium.

The integration catalog includes REST API, webhooks, Jira Issues, HubSpot Contacts, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues, Zapier, Make, and n8n. Baserow is available on the web, through an API, or as a self-hosted deployment on infrastructure users control, including on-premise and cloud environments. Self-hosted deployments offer unlimited rows, storage, and row history. The Trust Center describes least-privilege sharing, approved-domain controls, single sign-on, and activity logs, and states compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Free includes 3,000 rows and 2GB of storage per workspace. Premium costs $10 per user per month billed yearly, or $12 billed monthly; Advanced costs $18 per month billed yearly, or $22 billed monthly.
