    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!)

    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.

    It just works. Very easy to use. Very powerful tables compared to similar tools like Notion.
