What does Baserow do?
Baserow is open-source no-code database and airtable alternative — built in the netherlands. It is listed under no-code, open source, and saas on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European no-code tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from well-known US incumbents.
Is Baserow a good European no-code alternative?
Baserow is a fit for European businesses evaluating no-code options where data residency and GDPR alignment matter — typical buyers include EU-based SaaS teams, public-sector projects, regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal), and any organisation that needs to demonstrate that customer data does not leave the EU. It also overlaps with open source and saas use cases.
Is Baserow GDPR compliant?
Baserow is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands and falls under EU jurisdiction, so it likely processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Netherlands's data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP). EU Alts has not yet independently verified Baserow's ownership structure or hosting location, so we can't yet confirm its exposure to the US CLOUD Act the way we can for verified entries.
How do teams switch from well-known US incumbents to Baserow?
Most teams considering a move from well-known US incumbents to Baserow are drawn to its EU headquarters and no-code workflow fit. EU Alts hasn't yet verified Baserow's ownership and hosting facts, so treat any CLOUD Act or Schrems II conclusions as provisional until verification is complete. Plan a migration in stages regardless: export your data from the US incumbent, pilot Baserow with a small team, then move the rest once integration coverage is confirmed.
Where is Baserow based?
Baserow is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The company was founded in 2020. Its main website is https://baserow.io.
