NocoDB
Free, self-hostable Airtable alternative that turns any database into a smart spreadsheet with APIs, automations, and views.
Open source alternative to:
NocoDB is the most popular open source alternative to Airtable. It lets you connect to any relational database — MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, or MariaDB — and instantly get a spreadsheet-style UI on top of it, complete with grid, kanban, gallery, calendar, and form views.
Each table you create in NocoDB automatically gets a REST and GraphQL API, webhook triggers, and automation workflows, making it a strong foundation for internal tools, MVPs, and operations dashboards. Roles and permissions, shareable views, and audit logs are all included in the open source edition.
Compared to Airtable, NocoDB gives you full data ownership because the underlying database lives on your own infrastructure. It is widely used by small teams that have outgrown spreadsheets but want to avoid vendor lock-in and per-seat pricing.
