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

Palantir Foundry

  • Custom pricing model with no public information makes budgeting difficult
  • Steep implementation and configuration requirements
  • Requires significant technical expertise to operate effectively
  • Long sales cycle typical for enterprise software
