    The features of Baserow are similar to Airtable like the real-time collaboration, but I find it more performant with many records.

    The "field data types" comment isn't accurate in 2024; while missing Currency, it has the other data types + lots more. (It was probably accurate when cjphipps75 posted, though!)

    Notion seems like a wiki, but it's tables are databases with much similar features like Airtable has (you can link items, save different views like kanban, calendar, gallery and so on). And you can combine that with the wiki features, having different displays of your base put in one page with different filters on to have a custom dashboard for example. Only thing it lacks are native forms, but you can embed third party forms into your pages.

    Norion is more like a wiki and a document repositiry. Airtable is more a Spreadsheet/Database hybrid with additional features.

    Nearly identical to Notion.so, the Table function is a better version of AirTable. The formula capabilities are greater than Airtable and support multiple levels of indirection as well as syntax highlighting and autocomplete in the formula entry. Comparably, AirTable supports only single level lookup indirection and has a significantly reduced formula set.
