Teable
No-code Postgres database with an Airtable-like UI and spreadsheet performance
Overview
Teable is a next-gen Airtable alternative built directly on PostgreSQL, combining a fast spreadsheet-style grid with the power of a real relational database. It supports multiple views (grid, form, kanban, gallery, calendar), real-time collaboration, scales to millions of rows, and exposes your data via a database connection and API. The community edition is AGPL-licensed and self-hostable.
Key features
- Spreadsheet-style grid backed directly by PostgreSQL
- Multiple views: grid, form, kanban, gallery, and calendar
- Real-time collaboration on shared bases
- Scales to millions of rows
- Direct database connection plus REST API access to your data
Our take
Teable's standout decision is building directly on PostgreSQL, so your data sits in a real relational database you can query and connect to rather than a proprietary black box. The grid is fast, the view options (grid, form, kanban, gallery, calendar) cover most Airtable use cases, and real-time collaboration plus a documented API make it practical for shared work and integrations. The license is the main thing to weigh: the community edition is AGPL-3.0, which has implications if you plan to build a hosted product on top of it. It's a relatively young project, so expect rougher edges than a mature commercial tool, but the Postgres foundation makes it a genuinely appealing self-hosted Airtable replacement.
Ideal for: Teams that want Airtable's no-code interface but need their data to live in a real Postgres database they control.
Where it falls short of Airtable
- Younger project; some automation and integration features are still maturing.
- Smaller template and extension ecosystem than Airtable.
- Enterprise features (advanced auth, audit) are reserved for paid editions.
- Fewer third-party sync connectors than the commercial original.
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
