Nocodb Has a Free Database Interface — Turn Any Database into a Smart Spreadsheet

NocoDB turns your SQL database into a smart spreadsheet with collaboration features.

What You Get for Free

• Spreadsheet UI — for any SQL database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server)
• Multiple views — grid, gallery, kanban, form, calendar
• Formulas — spreadsheet-style formulas across rows
• Lookups & rollups — cross-table relationships
• Forms — create data entry forms from any table
• REST API — auto-generated for every table
• Webhooks — trigger actions on data changes
• Role-based access — viewer, editor, creator, owner
• App Store — integrations with Slack, Discord, email, etc.
• Self-hosted — free, unlimited users, unlimited records

Quick Start

# Docker
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 nocodb/nocodb:latest

# Connect to your existing database
# Or start fresh with built-in SQLite

# Access at http://localhost:8080

Why Teams Choose It Over Airtable

Airtable limits free to 1,000 records/base. Paid plans start at $20/user/mo:

• NocoDB is free — unlimited records, unlimited users (self-hosted)
• Your database — data stays in YOUR PostgreSQL/MySQL
• Auto-generated API — every table becomes a REST endpoint
• No record limits — handle millions of rows

A startup outgrew Airtable's 1,000-record free limit. Instead of paying $240/mo for 12 users, they deployed NocoDB on top of their existing PostgreSQL — same spreadsheet UX, unlimited records, and their data stayed in their own database.
