[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/baserow-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/baserow-profile/alternatives/) # Baserow User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.7/5 - Total reviews: 70 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.5/5 - Customer support: 4.6/5 - Value for money: 4.7/5 - Functionality: 4.4/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 52 reviews (74%) - 4 stars: 13 reviews (19%) - 3 stars: 5 reviews (7%) - 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 0 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - It offers us an easy way to create a database, collect data and trigger automations via Make.com. - I've migrated from Airtable/SmartSuite to Baserow and use Baserow for summary and visual data management that works well with other databases like Cloudflare D1 and MongoDB (integrated with Make.com). When it comes to Application Builder that the Baserow team is currently working on, according to their webinar, they plan to integrate other data sources and to develop a chart/graph feature, so I'm looking forward to using it. - Baserow offers extensive customization options, allowing me to tailor everything to my exact needs. ### Most mentioned cons - Feature parity with competing applications (e.g. Airtable) can create an (somewhat unfair) sense that Baseerow is "missing something". - The load time, the lack of Google cloud setup support, every so often it'll be buggy and I'm not sure what resources to upgrade - does it need more memory? - not able to find easily identical data on big data import from csv for example- the filtering with only "and" or "or" is very boring and timewasting when we want to filter on a multiple value parameter with a lot of values- Computed link to data from other tables not available- agenda should be improved and a way to link to personnal agenda (gmail or other) ## Baserow customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 70 (page 1). ### Baserow - The Real Air Table Alternative - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mark.

Baserow is mobile friendly on the web, so you can use it on any browser. With that said, if our community feels that that a native mobile app would be helpful, it's something we can dive further into. More views are coming (see the roadmap), and it'd be great to hear how we can improve search.

No incentive was offered Overall the experience is very positive and there are people behind committed to making Baserow better. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Baserow is simply excellent and we use it to manage all our marketing in one central place. It offers us an easy way to create a database, collect data and trigger automations via Make.com. Its a great and better alternative than Airtable. Also the fact that there is a self-hosted option, make this really attractive. We keep discovering new ways of using Baserow as we go, and we plan to use it as our central database to manage all kinds of activities. #### Cons At some times it might be a bit cumbersome to understand how it works or to find the exact solution to your problem. However, we kept trying and thanks to the Baserow Community and their Support we always could figure it out. #### Reasons for choosing Baserow Open Source Solution, it was cheaper and the team seem great. #### Vendor response Hey Cyrill, thanks for your glowing review.

Replied November 2024 --- ### Good, and improving - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ambroise D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Accounting - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I believe a lot in Baserow, it's clearly not perfect yet, but it's far more reliable than Airtable for many use-cases (anything that is "backend-powered"). The product team is doing a good job, the tech team has mostly made great design decisions. Stuff could be better, but they're listening to their customers. I like to compare Baserow to Airtable, because they're very much alike UI-wise, and are meant for the same people, those who aren't necessarily deeply technical but who know how to design a DB. It's much more simpler than Supabase/Xano, and with the recent addition of the App Builder (Beta), it will become even better and usable by many more people. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros - I love the fact it's open-source - Easy to deploy on self-hosted server - API is great and well designed - UI is good, although not as good as Airtable - Writing Formulas is a pain (UX can be improved) - Lookup/Rollup behave strangely with relationships - App Builder is the future #### Cons - Airtable UI is better/faster - Airtable provide more features (sync tables) #### Reasons for choosing Baserow I use both, but for different use-cases. Although, if I had to start today, I'd pick Baserow for most of it. #### Vendor response Hey Ambroise, thanks for your feedback and review! I'll be sure to pass this on to the rest of the team so we can address some of these proposed improvements. If you have any specifics, feel free to reach out directly, or pop them into community.baserow.io where we can drill down further. Thanks again! Replied April 2024 --- ### Highly recommended visual database for long-term use - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mana K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Online Media - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I enjoy using Baserow and am happy to be part of the community. Open-sourcing your own product is not always easy in terms of intellectual property and old-school business mindset. I've migrated from Airtable/SmartSuite to Baserow and use Baserow for summary and visual data management that works well with other databases like Cloudflare D1 and MongoDB (integrated with Make.com). When it comes to Application Builder that the Baserow team is currently working on, according to their webinar, they plan to integrate other data sources and to develop a chart/graph feature, so I'm looking forward to using it. (Competitors/alternatives could be not only Airtable, but also Retool and Softr) Overall, Baserow is a cost-effective and strategic solution for your digital transformation. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros - Cost effective from free to 5 USD per month - Simple and clean interface - Simple but useful API endpoints - Nice and supportive community - Application builder is evolving now - Open-source mindset and movement #### Cons - Application builder could have more feature (expectation for the future) - Filters should be sent as POST request rather than a GET parameter #### Reasons for choosing Baserow Open-source mindset and they might think that Baserow is a rich user interface (view/boundary) of other micro services in system integration. #### Reasons for switching to Baserow Cost, simplicity, API-oriented feature, open-source #### Vendor response Hi Mana, thanks for sharing your feedback! Glad to see you're excited about the Application Builder too. We're planning on having it out of public beta later this year, so if you have specific functionality recommendations, we're all ears. Great to see you're maximizing Baserow's open source nature as well.

Notion also has desktop version that robust the performance. #### Vendor response Hi FX Bayu, thanks for taking the time to review! We don't get a lot of requests for a desktop version of Baserow, but if our community members are interested, it's something we can look into. In the meantime, there are some solutions that turn web apps into "native" apps using wrappers. Suggest looking into that if it's of interest. Regarding views: Baserow has Grid (table) Kanban (board), and Calendar views available. Lastly: Be sure to enable rich text formatting when creating a Long Text field. That should help! –Hiram Replied May 2024 --- ### It's easy to create databases and project management systems - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: João J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I use it to create and sort lists of hundreds of items and props and organize them by all the scenes that they play in. When the scheduled day for a scene changes, with a few simple clicks, I can change the day that scene was slated to shoot on and all the dozens of not hundreds of props associated with that scene shift to the new day. It has shaved so much time off of managing itemized lists. #### Cons The interface on mobile or tablet is a bit crowded. But I understand that is also somewhat because of how I use the product out in the field. I feel like the card view could have more formating or vanity organizational options. #### Vendor response Hey Juliana, thanks so much for your review! Glad to hear Baserow is making it easy for you to manage your catalog and streamline your workflow. We've taken note of your feedback surrounding card view and how you use Baserow on the go so we can improve your experience in this regard.

Appreciate your review! -Hiram Replied May 2024 --- ### Capable open-source product for rapid integrations - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Frank S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros In olden times, one would build integration around spreadsheets with technologies like Visual Basic and such. Filemaker is another piece of software that comes to mind. These projects often grow to form the backbone of small-medium sized companies. While the use case is completely legitimate, it can be frustrating to see the vendor lock-in and potential tech debt this causes. Baserow is open source, really nice and accessible from a user perspective and yields the more modern integration landscape of a web application / REST API. #### Cons Functionality is sometimes a little too basic, having page-sized print layouts would enable many more use cases. #### Vendor response Hi Frank, Thanks for sharing your experience and input. We'd love to know what functionality you think Baserow is missing—check out our roadmap and/or GitLab repo to see if something catches your eye. Also curious about the page-sized print layouts you're mentioning—not sure I fully understand the use case, but feel free to pop this into the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io) so we can understand and evaluate your suggestion (and make it happen). - Hiram Replied May 2023 --- ### A melhor coisa que pode ter - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jefferson F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Hardware - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Being API-first and UX-driven, it'd be great to understand what sorts of API and UX improvements you'd like to see. We have an active community at community.baserow.io if you want to hop in and share your thoughts. Additionally, native integrations are in the works! In the meantime, if there's anything you're looking to automate, it can most likely be done in conjunction with a third-party integration tool like Zapier, n8n, Make, etc. See you in the community. - Hiram Replied May 2023 --- ### Johan Reviewb - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: johan k. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for free trial - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. pretty good we work on for scool and compagny project #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Excel Like, but some features was missing when i used i.

Very good. I'm rooting for this platform to succeed in the long run. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that it is using a FOSS model, and features self-hosting. The UI is much more laid back compared to competitors like SmartSuite and Airtable. Which can be a bit much with the UI colors. Baserow has the cleanness of a tool like Notion which I prefer.Also, the templates are really good. Would love to be able to help expand them.Love how the forms work as well as public sharing, it's just better than Airtable's setup here. Something nice about the cloud-based version. #### Cons The user access is really bad. There should be a way to share a single base without everything in the workspace without having to go to the highest plan. Even then going through teams only for that kind of access is archaic and harder for users to manage. I have files I'd like only certain people to access, and sometimes on an individual basis. I would love it if Baserow had a feature to let guests edit public files without an account. Similar to a form.Wish it had more "extension" features, maybe a click-up or notion direct integration. Zapier helps here, though, I want to use this as a database inside of other tools directly. There are a lot of systems that do project management very well and it would be better to use this inside of those than lock it as a competitor of those systems to "compete". The pricing model is what it is, but I don't like it. A huge reason of why I've switched out of Airtable was cost. It seemed like you kept upgrading and upgrading and still were missing key features behind a payroll. For a team that got expensive. Baserow is much cheaper, but I'd feel more inclined to pay for the premium if I got more for it. Not just one user, not all of these scope limitations, a real value add for an org. This software is competing against google sheets which works just as well for 90+% of people with the same use cases for absolutely no cost. Figuring out how much you're going to pay for a team with most of these base software's is going to require thi #### Reasons for switching to Baserow Cost, convenience, and the opensource title. Stuff is moving to self-hosted. Value adds. Etc. Software has never been this good, and this diverse. So the best players are going to get the attention over time. #### Vendor response Hey Jacob, Really appreciate your input and in-depth review! Glad that the templates are helpful—we have new ones (and updates to existing ones) with every release, so keep an eye out on those. We're going to take some notes regarding your suggestions around user access control. Security is a huge point of focus for us, which includes RBAC and granular permissions for both internal and external collaborators. Would also love to hear more about how you're using Baserow in conjunction with Notion and ClickUp, and learn how you'd envision an integration or "use [Baserow] inside of those" as you mentioned. I'd encourage you to jump into the Baserow Community (community.baserow.io) so that we can discuss with the broader team and better understand to see if we can hopefully make something happen. - Hiram Replied May 2023 ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/baserow-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Baserow Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
