The short version

Each has a real cost: Baserow the free tier is capped at 3,000 rows and 2GB of storage per workspace; 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: Baserow covers Database tables, 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Teable: Is self hosting genuinely free?

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

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

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.
