The short version

  • Only Teable has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Caspio data record limits are hard caps (1.25 million on Team, 4 million on Business), so a fast-growing dataset can force an upgrade even with the same small internal team using it.; Teable the automation builder is far less capable than the established commercial alternatives, so multi step workflows usually end up in an external tool that must be paid for and maintained separately.
  • They diverge on capability: Caspio covers Visual app builder, Teable covers PostgreSQL native storage.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Caspio

  • A public-facing organisation running intake forms or surveys with unpredictable, potentially large numbers of occasional external usersnot Teable
  • A nonprofit or membership organisation embedding a portal into an existing website without paying per member seatnot Teable
  • A team whose main constraint is data record volume rather than the number of people who need accessnot Teable
  • A healthcare-adjacent use case needing HIPAA-eligible hosting as a defined add-on rather than a separate vendornot Teable

Teable

  • A team that has hit the record ceiling of a hosted spreadsheet database and does not want to move to raw SQLnot Caspio
  • Operational data that a business intelligence tool must also read directly, without an export or a sync jobnot Caspio
  • A regulated or data resident organisation that needs the underlying database inside its own infrastructurenot Caspio
  • An internal tool where a grid interface and a REST API over the same table are both requirednot Caspio

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Caspio

  • Data record limits are hard caps (1.25 million on Team, 4 million on Business), so a fast-growing dataset can force an upgrade even with the same small internal team using it.
  • DataPage counts (100 on Team, 200 on Business) limit how many distinct app components can be built, which becomes a real constraint for an organisation running many small, separate apps rather than a few large ones.
  • The HIPAA compliance add-on costs 500 US dollars a month on top of the base plan with a one-year minimum term, a meaningful additional commitment for healthcare-adjacent buyers.
  • Its unlimited-user model is only cheaper than per-seat competitors when the user count is genuinely high relative to data volume; a small team with heavy data needs may find a per-seat platform cheaper.
  • The visual builder and DataPages approach is less suited to complex multi-step business process automation than platforms built around workflow engines, such as Appian or Mendix.

Teable

  • The automation builder is far less capable than the established commercial alternatives, so multi step workflows usually end up in an external tool that must be paid for and maintained separately.
  • Self hosting moves PostgreSQL backups, version upgrades, connection pooling and capacity planning onto your team, and the licence saving disappears if that time is costed honestly.
  • The integration catalogue is small, so connecting to a common business system often means writing against the REST API rather than installing a connector.
  • The project is young relative to the products it replaces, and interface and API changes still arrive at a pace that requires reading release notes before upgrading.
  • Storing every table as a real PostgreSQL table means schema changes are real migrations, so a careless field type change on a large table can lock it far longer than a spreadsheet user would expect.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Caspio: Does Caspio charge per user?

No. Every published tier includes unlimited users; the price scales with data record volume and DataPage count instead.

Teable: How many rows can it actually hold?

As many as your PostgreSQL instance can serve. There is no product imposed record limit on the self hosted edition, which is the main reason to choose it.

Caspio: What is a DataPage?

An individually configured, embeddable app component, such as a form or report, that can be placed inside an existing website.

Teable: Can I query the data with SQL directly?

Yes. Tables are real PostgreSQL tables, so any SQL client or reporting tool can read them.

Caspio: Is HIPAA compliance included?

No, it is a separate add-on priced at 500 US dollars a month with a minimum one-year term.

Teable: Is self hosting genuinely free?

The licence is. The database server, backups and the engineer maintaining them are not.

Teable: Does it replace Airtable feature for feature?

No. Views and field types are close; automations, apps and the integration catalogue are not.

Teable: What happens to my data if the project stops?

It remains in a standard PostgreSQL database that you control, which is a materially better exit than a proprietary export format.
