Baserow

Baserow is the open-source no-code database and application builder operated by Baserow B.V. (Keurenplein 4, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Chamber of Commerce 81129254), incorporated in 2020 and entirely governed by Dutch law with Amsterdam jurisdiction. The product is released under the MIT Expat licence with the full source code on GitHub (4.8k+ stars), positioning it as the open-source, EU-rooted alternative to Airtable for teams that want data portability and full control. Feature set: multi-type relational tables, grid/Kanban/calendar/gallery/survey views, workflow automations, a visual application builder, role-based permissions, audit logs, and API-first architecture with integrations across Jira, GitLab, GitHub, Zapier, Make, and n8n. The team of approximately 17 people is fully remote across the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Ireland, Austria, and other EU countries.

Baserow is available in two deployment modes. Self-hosted on any EU infrastructure (Docker, Helm, Cloudron, or bare Hetzner/OVH server) makes the customer the sole data controller with no US-owned cloud in the picture. The managed cloud at baserow.io is the alternative for teams that prefer a hosted service; the cloud tier carries SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA attestations and commits to GDPR compliance, but the underlying hosting provider is not publicly named in accessible docs, holding the CLOUD Act flag at minor pending vendor disclosure.

Pricing in USD (EUR conversion approximate): Free cloud tier covers 3,000 rows and 2 GB storage, permanent free, no credit card. Premium ~€9/user/month covers 50,000 rows, Kanban and calendar views, and XML/JSON/Excel export. Advanced ~€17/user/month adds 250,000 rows, role-based permissions, and audit logs. Self-hosted community edition is free; enterprise self-hosted licences available. Best fit: EU engineering teams, non-profits, and data-driven SMBs that want an open Airtable alternative with self-host optionality and Dutch/EU legal grounding.
