ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is NocoDB

NocoDB is an open-source, fair-code no-code database that turns any SQL backend into a collaborative smart-spreadsheet. It pairs the convenience of Airtable — Grid, Kanban, Gallery, Calendar, Form, Timeline, List, and Map views — with the option to read and write directly against your own production database.

The project was founded in June 2021 by Naveen Rudrappa and the company, NocoDB Inc., closed a $10.5M seed round in October 2022 led by Decibel Partners and OSS Capital, with angel participation from Matt Mullenweg, Naval Ravikant, Jeff Hammerbacher, Bob Young, and Chad Hurley. As of May 2026 the repository has 63,100 stars on GitHub.

The license changed in January 2026: NocoDB transitioned from AGPL-3.0 to a Fair-code Sustainable Use License starting at version 0.301.0, and several features that had been Enterprise-only — Dark Mode, Custom Webhook Payloads, and Group-by Aggregations — moved into the free Community Edition. The platform runs on Linux containers with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, or SQLite as the backend, and supports external data sources including Aurora, Snowflake, Oracle, ClickHouse, and Databricks.

FEATURES

What NocoDB does

NocoDB combines spreadsheet ergonomics with database structure. Each table renders in up to eight view types, exposes an auto-generated REST API, fires webhooks on record events, and supports row-level permissions plus field-level visibility — all stored in a SQL backend you can read directly with any other tool.

Eight view types

Grid, Form, Gallery, Kanban, Calendar, Timeline, List, and Map. Map view shipped April 2026. Each table can host many views with independent filters, sorts, and field visibility.

Webhooks with custom payloads

Event-driven HTTP calls on record create, update, and delete. Custom payload shaping moved into the open Community Edition in version 0.301, with per-form webhook triggers.

Granular roles and Record-Level Security

Five workspace and base roles plus per-table, per-field permissions and Record-Level Security policies. SCIM provisioning and Org roles available on Enterprise plans.

S3 / MinIO / GCS attachments

Object storage wired via NC_S3 environment variables. Secure mode serves attachments only through pre-signed URLs with configurable expiry. 20 MiB per-file default, raisable.

Auto-generated REST API v3

Every base exposes a typed REST API with token-based authentication, plus Meta APIs for schema CRUD. Native Make, Zapier, and Workato connectors ship with the v3 API.

Public forms with conditional logic

Forms support show-on-condition rules, password protection, and embeddable links. Replaces Typeform or Airtable Forms for survey, intake, and lead-capture workflows.

Formula, Rollup, Lookup, LTAR V2

Spreadsheet-style formulas, rollups across linked records, custom display values on linked records added April 2026, plus AutoNumber and UUID field types.

Scripts, Workflows, and MCP Server

JavaScript Scripts API with full base access, visual Workflows builder in beta, and an MCP Server that exposes NocoDB to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf for natural-language queries.

WHAT'S ALWAYS INCLUDED

Every app. Fully managed.
Nothing extra to pay for.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed NocoDB

Airtable's pricing has roughly doubled since 2023. Team rose from $12 to $20 per seat per month, and Business rose from $24 to $45, while the Free plan was cut to 1,000 records and 1,000 API calls per month. In October 2025 Airtable also stopped pro-rating refunds when you remove seats mid-cycle. For teams running collaborative tables on the wrong side of those changes, the math now favours running an open-source equivalent.

"Just running NocoDB" is heavier than the Docker one-liner suggests. The default SQLite backend tops out fast under concurrent writes, so production teams need a managed PostgreSQL instance, a separate Redis for the job queue, and compatible storage for attachments — three pieces to provision, secure, and back up.

DANIAN ships NocoDB with the storage backend wired before your first upload, the secure-attachments flag enabled by default, and the field-size limits raised from NocoDB's 1 MiB and 20 MiB ceilings to something that won't silently 400 a rich-text save.

USE CASES

Three teams who run NocoDB on DANIAN

These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.

50-PERSON SAAS STARTUP

Replacing Airtable Team after the renewal arrived at $4,800 a year

12 editors, 30k records, eight tables. Six months from hitting the 50,000-record Team-plan ceiling. We deployed NocoDB in EU-Germany on managed PostgreSQL, set up Slack webhooks on the "New Bug" form, and n8n self-host handles the GitHub-issue sync.

10-PERSON CONTENT AGENCY

Headless CMS feeding an Astro and Next.js client site

4–6 editors, 5,000 content rows across two bases. Public read-only REST API with a scoped Base token feeds ISR builds on Vercel. Webhook on record-updated triggers a deploy hook. Region USA. NocoDocs replaces a standalone Notion workspace as the in-base style guide.

30-PERSON MANUFACTURER

Inventory and shop-floor tracker, replacing Excel-on-OneDrive

18 floor users — the Airtable equivalent would be Business with SAML SSO at $810 a month. NocoDB Kanban runs the work-in-progress board; Gallery shows product photos via the storage; formulas drive re-order points; a public form logs QA rejects. Twilio SMS fires from a record-update webhook when stock falls below threshold.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run NocoDB

There are four honest paths for running NocoDB or its proprietary equivalent. The cost math is shown at 1, 5, and 10 users so you can see how each path scales. Annual-billing prices for the proprietary path; ongoing operator time priced at €40 an hour for the self-host paths.

The proprietary path scales linearly with seats; the self-host paths look cheaper until you price in operator time and the gotcha when something breaks at 11pm. At 5 users on Airtable Team annual, the SaaS bill alone is over 11× the DANIAN price; at 10 users on Airtable Business it's roughly 50× before counting AI add-ons, sync integrations, or Portals.

BY INDUSTRY

NocoDB for specific industries

Industries that put particular demands on a collaborative database — record-keeping rules, access-control granularity, regional data hosting — get four sketches below. Each block names one operational standard, one configuration choice we make for that industry, one workflow example, and one quantitative anchor.

SaaS teams running a product backlog, a lightweight CRM, or a growth-experiment tracker hit Airtable's 50,000-records-per-base ceiling fast and run into the universal 5-request-per-second API cap as soon as their automation grows. The operational standard most relevant here is the security questionnaire your enterprise customers send before signing — they want to know who can access customer data, how it's logged, and how long backups live. DANIAN deploys NocoDB on managed PostgreSQL with SAML or OIDC SSO against Okta or Azure Entra, workspace audit logs enabled from day one with 90-day retention, and Slack webhooks on record-created for the "New Bug" and "Customer Request" tables. A typical fit is 8 to 20 editors, 25,000 to 80,000 rows across six to ten tables, and Make or n8n handling the GitHub-issue and Stripe sync.
Agencies manage client lists, editorial calendars, and creative assets that fall under regional data-protection rules — the kind that require knowing where personal data physically lives. DANIAN provisions NocoDB in the EU region of your choice, enables NC_SECURE_ATTACHMENTS so files are only served through pre-signed URLs, and structures the workspace so each client gets its own isolated base with separate permissions. The recurring workflow is the password-protected Gallery view: each client sees their own deliverables in a branded URL without seeing other clients' work. A typical agency runs 30 to 50 client bases on a single NocoDB instance, with 200 to 500 GB of attachments stored and webhooks routing approvals to Slack.
Manufacturing and logistics (inventory, shop-floor tracking, quality records)

Manufacturers use NocoDB as an inventory tracker, shop-floor work-order board, or quality-record log — domains where traceability rules and time-stamped record-keeping matter. DANIAN points NocoDB at a managed PostgreSQL backend, or at a read-replica of an existing ERP, so the database stays the single source of truth and NocoDB acts as the editor-facing UI. The recurring workflow is the inventory-threshold webhook: when a stock row drops below the configured re-order point, a webhook fires to Twilio for an SMS to the floor manager and to a dashboard display in the warehouse. A typical install handles 50,000 or more SKU rows, 5 to 25 floor editors, and a daily encrypted backup retained for 30 days.
Non-profits use NocoDB for donor records, grants pipelines, and volunteer rosters — workflows with sensitive personal data and grant-reporting obligations that don't justify the licensing cost of a full Salesforce NPSP install. The operational standard here is donor-record retention: most grant-makers require you to retain donation records for a defined period, and most data-protection rules require you to know who can see them. DANIAN configures field-level permissions so non-finance staff cannot see donation amounts, sets up SMTP through a verified domain for thank-you mailers, and routes new-grant-application forms to a #grants Slack channel via webhook. A typical non-profit runs 1,500 to 10,000 donor records with five to ten staff editors.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before signing up — answered straight, without sales speak.

Three groups: technical setup, migration, and how DANIAN works as a service.

01

Technical and configuration

Yes, with a PostgreSQL backend rather than SQLite. We run NocoDB on managed Postgres by default, with indexes on the columns you filter and sort on most often. Above roughly 1 million rows the COUNT query that drives pagination can slow page loads; at that scale we move heavy aggregations to materialised views or external sources, and add caching at the API layer.
NocoDB ships built-in Record-Level Security policies on workspace tables, with a UI policy editor. For external Postgres data sources you can also enforce RLS at the database layer. We tune both: the in-app policies for editor-facing rules, and Postgres RLS for the audit-grade cases where the database itself has to refuse the read regardless of which app is asking.
NocoDB supports SQLite, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server via the NC_DB connection string. We default to a managed PostgreSQL instance, isolated per tenant, with point-in-time recovery enabled. SQLite is fine for evaluation; production teams almost always need Postgres for concurrent writes, backup granularity, and the ability to add read replicas later
We pin to the current stable NocoDB release on your instance, watch the upstream changelog, and apply minor updates on a 7-to-14-day cadence after they've baked in our staging environment. Breaking releases get a one-click test deploy and a rollback path. You can opt into an immediate-update channel from the dashboard if you'd rather track upstream more closely.
NocoDB ships workspace audit logging that records who edited what and when. We enable it from day one and retain logs for 90 days by default — longer if you ask. Audit data lives in the same Postgres backend as your tables, so exports are a single query, and we'll write the query for you if you need a regulatory snapshot.
Yes — NocoDB ships a Model Context Protocol server that exposes your bases to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf for natural-language queries and edits. We expose it on a scoped endpoint with a token you control. Self-hosted NocoDB does not yet include NocoAI — the cloud-only feature for AI-generated bases and formulas — so the MCP route is the self-host equivalent.

02

Migration and onboarding

We can activate your app on your own custom domain/subdomain. Examples: mydomain.com, anyword.mydomain.com.
Or, on our randomized free subdomain. Example: 963.apps.danian.cloud
If you wish to use a custom domain/subdomain, select that option when ordering your app (or notify us later). We will send you the required DNS records and if needed, our tech team will modify them for you.
21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.
Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.
Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.
Generate an Airtable Personal Access Token with the data.records:read scope plus the shared Base URL or ID. NocoDB's Import-from-Airtable wizard handles schema, records, attachments, and most field types. The known limits: formula fields don't transfer and have to be re-authored in NocoDB syntax, and one-to-many links sometimes arrive as many-to-many and need cleanup. We run a dry-run import on a staging copy first.
Schema-only imports take minutes. A full data import scales with row count and attachment volume — a 5,000-row base with no attachments lands well under an hour; a 100,000-row base with image attachments takes several hours. We run the migration off-hours, validate row counts and link integrity table-by-table, and only cut DNS over once you've signed off on the result.
Not directly — Airtable Automations and Scripting Blocks don't have a one-to-one importer. NocoDB has its own Scripts API in JavaScript that went GA in June 2025, plus a visual Workflows builder in beta and per-record webhooks. We map each automation to the closest NocoDB equivalent during onboarding; most teams find the result simpler than what they had.
Yes. CSV and Excel are first-class imports — point NocoDB at the file, map column types, done. Google Sheets imports via CSV export, or via a one-way Make or Zapier sync. For ongoing sync from Sheets, we set up a webhook bridge that keeps the NocoDB table current without manual re-imports.

03
