The powerful AirTable alternative – GDPR-compliant

SeaTable, an alternative to Airtable, offers the same database capabilities, but at fair prices and with more features right from the start. It is GDPR-compliant, with servers located in Germany, and is also available as a self-hosted solution upon request.

FAQ – SeaTable as an Airtable Alternative
-
Can I try SeaTable for free?
-
Yes, of course. The free version of SeaTable, an alternative to Airtable, is perfect for getting a first impression of SeaTable. You can sign up for the free cloud version now and switch to a paid subscription or a self-hosted system at any time later.
-
Why should I choose an alternative to Airtable instead of waiting for the Airtable on-premises solution?
-
It’s quite simple: The decision to offer Airtable on-premises or not is a strategic one, not a technical one. And on this point, Airtable has repeatedly made its position very clear since 2017: There are no plans, nor is it in the pipeline, to develop Airtable software for self-hosting. With the Airtable alternative SeaTable, however, the customer’s wishes take center stage, and with SeaTable Server and SeaTable Dedicated , we are already addressing the need for full data control and a dedicated IT infrastructure. The question of whether you’d rather wait for Airtable software at some point in the distant future or get started with SeaTable on-premises right now should be easy to answer.
-
How do you install your own SeaTable system?
-
Installing a SeaTable Enterprise on-premises system is not particularly difficult and is described in the Administrator’s Guide . If you’d prefer to watch a video, check out our YouTube channel .

Can someone handle the SeaTable server installation for me?
-
We would be happy to handle the installation of your on-premises SeaTable system. Please contact us and we will be happy to provide you with a quote.
-
Can I customize SeaTable to match my corporate design?
-
In SeaTable Cloud, the options for customizing your brand identity—just like with Airtable—are limited. With SeaTable Cloud Enterprise, you can customize the logo and colors. >/br> The situation is quite different, however, with a dedicated or on-premises system. As a self-hosted Airtable alternative, you can customize SeaTable however you like. You set the URL, define the templates, roles, and permissions available to users, and, of course, you can change the logo and colors. You only have these freedoms with your own on-premises installation, which Airtable cannot offer you.
