    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.

    Easy to use. A business user can also create Apps with few clicks. Drag and drop and support of excel formula makes it very useful. Chat support and SPOC are beneficial. Support for consuming REST API and Google sheet makes it easy to use.
