The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; WeWeb there is no database, authentication provider or server-side logic layer, so a WeWeb project is always at least two subscriptions and the total cost is never the price on the pricing page.
  • They diverge on capability: Teable covers PostgreSQL native storage, WeWeb covers Backend agnostic.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for

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

Teable

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

WeWeb

  • Building an interface over data that already lives in Supabase or PostgreSQLnot Teable
  • Agency work where the client contract requires an application that runs without the vendornot Teable
  • Replacing the front end of a no-code application that has outgrown its original platformnot Teable
  • Internal tools for staff where the database and its permissions already exist and must not be duplicatednot Teable

Where each one falls short

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

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.

WeWeb

  • There is no database, authentication provider or server-side logic layer, so a WeWeb project is always at least two subscriptions and the total cost is never the price on the pricing page.
  • Self-hosting and the more useful delivery options sit on higher tiers, so on entry plans you are hosting with WeWeb and depending on its uptime for a production application.
  • The learning curve is closer to a front-end framework than to a drag and drop builder; collections, bindings and state assume you understand how data flows through an interface, which defeats non-technical buyers.
  • Output is web only. There is no native mobile build, so anything that must appear in the App Store needs a wrapper or a different tool entirely.
  • It is a small European vendor competing against far larger platforms, so procurement teams that assess supplier viability, support depth and long-term roadmap will need convincing before signing.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

WeWeb: Do I need another product to use WeWeb?

Yes. It builds the front end only. You need a backend such as Supabase, an existing database or an API before the application does anything useful.

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.

WeWeb: Can I host the app myself?

On the higher tiers, yes. That is one of the main reasons agencies choose it, because the delivered application can run without the vendor in the path.

Teable: Is self hosting genuinely free?

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

WeWeb: Is it suitable for someone who cannot code?

Less so than most no-code builders. You do not have to write code, but you do have to think like a front-end developer about state, collections and bindings.

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.
