Every European No-Code database tool reviewed
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Founded 2020
Free (3,000 rows, 2GB); Premium $10/user/month and Advanced $18/user/month, both billed yearly; Enterprise on request
Free plan
Best for: Teams that want an open-source database they can self-host
Baserow B.V. is a Dutch company registered in Amsterdam (KvK 81129254) that publishes the core of its database under the MIT licence. Its pitch is the spreadsheet interface people know, backed by a real relational database, with grid, gallery, kanban and calendar views, row-level permissions, a REST and webhook API and no-code automations between tables.
Cloud data is hosted exclusively in Germany, which the company states in its documentation. Self-hosting the open-source core is free and has no row limit, while premium views and automations require a paid licence. The cloud plans are Free with 3,000 rows and 2GB, Premium at $10 per user a month and Advanced at $18, billed yearly, and Enterprise on request.
Its 2022 seed round was led by INKEF Capital in Amsterdam with firstminute capital, Seedcamp and Frontline, all European funds. The oddities are small: prices are listed in dollars despite the Dutch company, and a free tier of 3,000 rows is tight. Against SeaTable it is the stronger choice for self-hosting.
What Baserow does well
- MIT-licensed core, free to self-host with no row cap
- Dutch B.V. with a KvK registration and European investors
- Cloud data hosted in Germany, stated in the documentation
- Grid, gallery, kanban and calendar views plus an API and automations
- A free cloud plan to start with
Where Baserow falls short
- Premium views and automations need a paid licence, even when self-hosting
- Cloud pricing is listed in US dollars
- The free tier caps at 3,000 rows
- Smaller template and integration library than Airtable
Standout feature. A genuinely open-source core with the cloud data kept in Germany, stated as policy rather than as a default.
Mainz, Germany
Founded 2020
Free (up to 25 users, 10,000 rows, 2GB); Plus €7/user/month and Enterprise €14/user/month, both billed yearly
Free plan
Best for: Teams that want a documented EU hosting chain and a larger free plan
SeaTable GmbH was incorporated in Mainz in July 2020 (Amtsgericht Mainz, HRB 49723) by Ralf and Christoph Dyllick-Brenzinger, who previously built the Seafile file-sync tool. It is a no-code database and spreadsheet hybrid with kanban, Gantt and gallery views, an automation engine and forms for outside collaborators.
Its security page names the exact data centres, DE-FRA-1 in Frankfurt and DE-MUC-1 in Munich, run by Exoscale, and says user data never leaves Europe. The free plan covers up to 25 users with 10,000 rows and 2GB, Plus is €7 per user a month and Enterprise €14, billed yearly, all in euros.
The licensing needs reading carefully. SeaTable can be self-hosted, but the core engine is proprietary even though some components are Apache or AGPL, and the free self-hosted edition is capped at three users. Its ecosystem of integrations is smaller than Airtable's and Baserow's. For a hosted, euro-priced database it is the more generous free option.
What SeaTable does well
- German GmbH with a Handelsregister entry, founder-owned and bootstrapped
- Named data centres in Frankfurt and Munich on Exoscale
- Free plan for up to 25 users
- Prices published in euros
- Kanban, Gantt and calendar views on the base grid
Where SeaTable falls short
- Core database engine is proprietary, not open source
- Free self-hosted edition is capped at three users
- Smaller integration library than Airtable
- Rows are limited to 10,000 on the free plan
Standout feature. A named hosting chain rather than a vague EU claim: exact data centres and the exact provider, stated on the security page.
Sofia, Bulgaria
Founded 2013
Free (up to 2 users, 10 apps); Basic €9/user/month and Standard €19/user/month billed annually (€12 and €26 billed monthly); Enterprise from 50 users on request
Free plan
Best for: Small teams building simple business apps on a per-user budget
Fusioo is an online database and app builder operated by Fusioo Technologies LTD, whose terms and data processing agreement are governed by the laws of Bulgaria. The footer lists an office in Sofia and also an Italian address in Turin with an Italian VAT number. The site says it was founded in 2013 and launched its product in 2015, with a team of ten or more.
Pricing is published in euros per user. Free covers 2 users and 10 apps, Basic is €9 a month billed annually and Standard €19, or €12 and €26 billed monthly, and Enterprise starts from 50 users on request. Higher tiers add workflows, reports, web forms, integrations through Zapier, Pabbly and Make, and an API.
The weak spot is transparency about where data lives. The how-it-works page says data sits on ISO 27001/27002 certified servers, replicated across data centres, but gives no region. The subprocessor list, last updated in April 2018, names Microsoft Azure and Braintree, a US payments provider. For a regulated use, that needs a written answer.
What Fusioo does well
- EU company under Bulgarian law, with a DPA published on the site
- Per-user prices published in euros, with a free plan
- Workflows, reports, web forms and calendar integrations
- Lite users with read-only access are not limited in number
- Servers described as ISO 27001/27002 certified
Where Fusioo falls short
- No hosting region stated, and a subprocessor list dated 2018
- Infrastructure is Microsoft Azure, a US-owned provider
- Record limits per app on every plan below Enterprise, 30,000 on Standard
- Smaller ecosystem than Airtable
Standout feature. Low per-user prices in euros with a free plan, aimed at teams that want a simple app builder rather than a developer tool.
Cambridge, United Kingdom
Founded 2021
Pro £39/user/month and Max £59/user/month (£421 and £637 per user per year billed annually); Enterprise on request
7-day free trial on Pro and Max, no credit card
Best for: Small businesses replacing several tools with one system
Kinabase is operated by Cambridge Kinetics Ltd, a company incorporated in England in March 2021 (company number 13235481). Its about page says it was founded after the founder graduated from the University of Cambridge. It is a business workflow platform with collections for data, tasks, activities, workflows, automations, documents and portals for clients.
Pricing is published per user in pounds: Pro is £39 a month, or £421 a year, and Max is £59 a month, or £637 a year, with Enterprise on request. Pro adds automations, workflows, Microsoft 365 single sign-on, custom roles and audit logging, and Max adds a native document editor, accounting integrations and developer API access. Pro and Max have a 7-day free trial without a credit card.
The terms say primary data storage remains in the United Kingdom and are governed by English law. It is a UK company, outside the EEA under an adequacy decision, and a different product from Baserow: more process and documents, less raw grid. It costs more per user than the other tools here.
What Kinabase does well
- UK company with a Companies House number and English governing law
- Primary data storage stated as the United Kingdom
- Collections, tasks, workflows and documents in one platform
- Microsoft 365 single sign-on and audit logging from the Pro tier
- Prices published in pounds, with a 7-day trial
Where Kinabase falls short
- From £39 per user a month, the highest entry price in this category
- Outside the EEA, covered by an adequacy decision
- No free plan listed
- Less of a spreadsheet-style grid than a business platform
Standout feature. One system for data, tasks, workflows and documents, with Microsoft 365 sign-on built into the entry plan.
London, United Kingdom
Founded 2021
Team $12/user/month (listed at $120/user/year billed yearly); Enterprise on request; add-ons for automations, storage and uploads
14-day free trial
Best for: Airtable users who want a cheap per-user switch
Retable is an online database and spreadsheet tool operated by Retable Limited, a company incorporated in England in February 2021 (company number 13178392, London registered office at Companies House). Its terms give a registered office in Maidenhead, which differs from the Companies House entry. It sells itself directly against Airtable, with a fast import for Airtable bases.
Pricing is published in dollars: Team is $12 per user a month, listed at $120 per user a year, with unlimited workspaces, 50,000 records per project, automations, webhooks, custom branding and a public API. Add-ons raise automation counts, storage and upload limits, and Enterprise offers on-premise or dedicated cloud. A 14-day free trial is offered, and the page shows no permanent free plan.
The privacy policy says the service runs on Amazon Web Services and that data is stored exclusively in a data centre in London certified to ISO 27001. That is UK hosting on a US-owned provider. The company page says little about the team, so the trial is worth testing with real data.
What Retable does well
- UK company with a Companies House number
- Data stored in a London data centre, stated in the privacy policy
- Airtable import and a public API
- Per-user pricing starting at $12 a month
- 14-day free trial
Where Retable falls short
- Runs on AWS, a US-owned provider
- Prices in US dollars, with no free plan
- Outside the EEA, covered by an adequacy decision
- Limited public information about the company and team
Standout feature. An Airtable-shaped product with a direct import, at a flat per-user price and UK-only data storage.
