What is NocoDB?
NocoDB connects to an existing SQL database and layers a spreadsheet-like interface on top, with grid, kanban, gallery, calendar and form views, alongside an auto-generated REST API. It works against real database schemas rather than a proprietary store. A free, self-hosted community edition and paid cloud/enterprise tiers are both available.

Key capabilities
- Multiple views: Grid, kanban, gallery, calendar and form views over the same data.
- Auto-generated API: REST endpoints derived from your database tables.
- Automation & sync: Basic workflow automation and external data sync features.
No-code data interfaces and API generation over relational databases are its core areas.
Choose NocoDB when a team wants a spreadsheet-style front end over data that already lives in, or needs to live in, a real SQL database, rather than exporting data into a separate no-code silo.
Because the free self-hosted edition and metered cloud plans differ in seats, records and storage limits, check the current pricing page against expected data volume before choosing a tier.
