DEV-TOP · horizontalOur take
Best for teams that want a flexible, visual database for tracking structured work (content calendars, CRMs, project trackers) without engineering resources — not a substitute for a real relational database at high scale.
Choose this if...
- Ops, marketing, and creative teams building lightweight internal tools without engineering help
- Small businesses tracking structured data (inventory, bookings, leads) with a spreadsheet-like interface
Look elsewhere if...
- You need a true relational database with high record volumes and complex querying
- You want fully transparent, published limits before choosing a plan — confirm current record/storage caps directly, as they weren't clearly published
