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

Momen

There is no source code export and no self-hosting, so if the vendor changes direction or pricing, migration means rebuilding the application from scratch against exported data.
It is a young platform with a small team, so the template library, the pool of community answers and the third-party integration marketplace are all thin next to Bubble or WeWeb.
The learning curve is real, because you are exposed to schemas, relations, queries and access rules, which stops it serving the audience that spreadsheet-backed builders serve.
Mobile applications are web output rather than native builds, so anything needing real device capability or an app store listing is a wrapper rather than a native app.
Support and documentation come from the vendor rather than a large user base, so an unusual problem escalates to the same small team everyone else is waiting on.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Baserow: Does Baserow have a free plan?

Baserow's Free plan includes 3000 rows per workspace, 2 GB storage, 2000 automation credits monthly, and access to Grid, Form, and Gallery views. It supports up to 500 external app users and includes 65+ templates with no credit card required.

Source

Momen: Do I need a separate backend?

No. The database, authentication, API and payments are part of the platform, which is the main difference from builders that expect you to bring Supabase or Airtable.

Baserow: What row and storage limits does Baserow provide by plan?

Free plan: 3000 rows and 2 GB storage; Premium plan: 50000 rows and 20 GB; Advanced plan: 250000 rows and 100 GB; Enterprise plan: 1000000 rows and 1 TB. All limits are per workspace.

Source

Momen: Can I get my data out?

Yes. The Postgres data exports and is reachable over a GraphQL API. The application itself is not exportable.

Baserow: How much does Baserow Premium cost?

Baserow Premium costs $10 per user per month when billed annually, or $12 per month when billing monthly. Yearly billing provides better rates than monthly. Advanced plan costs $18/user/month annually or $22/month monthly.

Source

Momen: Can I self-host it?

No. It runs on vendor infrastructure only, so a data residency requirement rules it out.

Baserow: What are automation credit limits in Baserow?

Free plan provides 2000 monthly automation credits, Premium provides 100000 monthly credits, Advanced provides 500000 monthly credits, and Enterprise provides 2000000 monthly credits for workflow automation.

Source

Momen: Is it suitable for a non-technical founder?

Only one willing to learn data modelling. If you want to point at a spreadsheet and get an application, this is the wrong end of the category.
