Grow vs Teable

Teable
Spreadsheets
Spreadsheet interface over real PostgreSQL tables, so the data stays queryable by anything that speaks SQL

The short version
- Only Teable has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Grow the pricing URL serves marketing content with no plan, rate, minimum or cost driver published anywhere on 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: Grow covers No-code Setup, Teable covers PostgreSQL native storage.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Grow
- The pricing URL serves marketing content with no plan, rate, minimum or cost driver published anywhere on it
- The only calls to action are Get Started Now and Watch Demo; there is no self-serve rate card
- The vendor advertises unlimited users with no per-seat charges, which means the price driver is not disclosed at all
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
Grow: How much does Grow cost?
Grow does not publish pricing on their website. They offer a request-a-free-trial model that requires contacting their sales team. Pricing is determined by contacting sales through their contact form or trial request process.
SourceTeable: 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.
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.
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.
