- -
The short version
- Each has a real cost: Baserow the free tier is capped at 3,000 rows and 2GB of storage per workspace; Comet ML the free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention
- They diverge on capability: Baserow covers Database tables, Comet ML covers Experiment tracking.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Baserow
- The free tier is capped at 3,000 rows and 2GB of storage per workspace
- Kanban, calendar and survey views need Premium at $10 per user per month billed yearly
- Role-based permissions, audit logs and SSO require Premium or higher
- Row limits are per workspace rather than per table, so splitting data across bases does not raise the ceiling
- Automation runs are metered as credits, 2,000 a month on free
Comet ML
- The free cloud tier caps data at 25,000 spans a month with 60 day retention
- Retention stays at 60 days even on the paid Pro plan, and extending it is a $29 per 100k spans add on
- Overage on Pro is $5 per additional 100,000 spans
- The free MLOps tier is a single user with 100 GB of storage and training hours governed by a fair usage policy
- Pro MLOps is $19 per user per month and caps the team at 10 users

Questions people ask
- Is Baserow or Comet ML better?
- Neither clearly leads. Baserow starts at Free and Comet ML at Free, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Baserow or Comet ML?
- Baserow starts at Free and Comet ML at Free.
- Does Baserow or Comet ML run on more platforms?
- Baserow runs on Web, Api, Self-hosted. Comet ML runs on Web, Linux, Mac, Windows.
- Can I use Baserow for free?
- Both have a free tier, so you can try either at no cost before committing.
- What is Baserow best used for?
- Baserow is most often used for self-hosting an open source alternative to a spreadsheet database, structured team data with kanban, calendar and grid views, building internal tools on top of a database with an api, sharing data with external app users without giving them full seats. Of those, self-hosting an open source alternative to a spreadsheet database and structured team data with kanban, calendar and grid views are not what Comet ML is typically brought in for.
- What can Baserow do that Comet ML cannot?
- Baserow covers Database tables, Multiple views, Forms, API access. Comet ML covers Experiment tracking, Code versioning, Model registry, Hyperparameter optimization. Both handle Web support.
