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

Volnyn

  • Website creation sits on Pro Max, not the entry paid tier, so the feature most buyers arrive for is on the second plan up.
  • Everything is metered from one credit balance, which makes the monthly cost a function of usage rather than a number you can budget. A few AI videos at 100 credits each consume a meaningful share of a Pro allowance.
  • Prices are published in UAE dirhams only, so buyers elsewhere carry the conversion and any card fees on top.
  • The product surface is unusually broad for its size, spanning site building, apps, documents, media generation, browser automation, a freelancer marketplace, a property portal and games. Depth in any one of those is harder to assume than it would be for a focused tool.
  • No founders, leadership or company history are published, and the stated address is a large shared office building, so there is little to verify the operation behind the product against.
