Open source alternatives to Airtable

Spreadsheet-database hybrid with views, automations, and integrations. · Airtable, Inc.

Pricing: Free for individuals; paid plans from $20/seat/mo

Airtable is the default 'spreadsheet meets database' tool for ops, marketing, and product teams in 2026. Open-source alternatives split into two camps: spreadsheet-first (NocoDB, Baserow) and database-first with a spreadsheet UI (Directus, SeaTable). NocoDB is the most direct Airtable replacement; Baserow is the right pick for teams that need a self-hostable no-code database with strong row-level permissions.
