About
Baserow is a Dutch open-source no-code database platform founded in Amsterdam in 2020, offering a spreadsheet-like interface for managing structured data — similar to Airtable but fully self-hostable and EU-owned. It is built on Django and PostgreSQL, released under the MIT licence, and can be deployed on any EU server. Baserow Cloud is hosted in EU data centres with GDPR compliance. Unlike Airtable (US-based), Baserow allows you to keep all your structured data on servers you control in EU jurisdiction. It supports REST APIs, forms, public views, and collaboration.

Frequently asked questions
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 Airtable.
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 independently verified Baserow's exposure to the US CLOUD Act, so we can't confirm it either way.
How do teams switch from Airtable to Baserow?
Teams considering a move from Airtable to Baserow are usually drawn by its no-code workflow fit. EU Alts has not independently verified Baserow's exposure to the US CLOUD Act, so treat any CLOUD Act or Schrems II conclusions as provisional. 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?
