About NocoDB

NocoDB is a productivity tool for organising your work. In its own words: Instantly turn your Database into a No-Code Platform.

What the free plan gives you

Free and open source self-hosted. Taken from NocoDB's own pricing page, the free plan includes import Airtable 20k+; aPIs; docs; templates.

Because NocoDB is open source, the ceiling is your own infrastructure rather than a billing page. Self-hosting costs nothing but your time, and a hosted plan is there if you would rather not run it.

What it does

NocoDB covers grid View, kanban View, gallery View, form View, calendar View.

When you would pay

You may never need to. The free tier is not a funnel step here, so the sensible move is to use it until something it genuinely cannot do forces the question.

We list NocoDB because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.

The free plan in practice

What you can actually do on NocoDB's free plan (Free and open source self-hosted), where it stops, and when it's worth paying.

What you can do free

  • Import Airtable 20k+
  • APIs
  • Docs
  • Templates
  • Pricing

Where it stops

  • No major limitations beyond the plan's usage limits.

When to upgrade to a paid plan

NocoDB is open source, so self-hosting is free and unlimited. The only reason to pay is convenience: choose a hosted or cloud option when you'd rather not run and maintain it yourself, or need official support.
