Self-Hosted NocoDB: No Limits, No Per-Seat Pricing
NocoDB Cloud caps you at 50,000 records and charges per editor seat. Self-hosted NocoDB on Opsily removes every limit -- flat monthly fee, unlimited users, unlimited rows, EU servers, fully managed.
Why Teams Switch from Airtable to Self-Hosted NocoDB
Airtable charges $20 per user per month on the Team plan and $45 on Business. A 15-person team paying for editor seats hits $300 to $675 every month, plus record limits that force upgrades. NocoDB self-hosted removes all of that. One flat server fee, unlimited users, unlimited rows.
No Per-Seat Billing
Airtable charges every editor. NocoDB self-hosted does not. Add 5 team members or 50 and your server cost does not move. Commenters and viewers are always free, even on NocoDB Cloud, so moving to self-hosted removes the one cost that actually scales with your team.
No Row or Storage Caps
NocoDB Cloud limits records to 50,000 on Plus and 300,000 on Business. Self-hosted NocoDB has no built-in row limit. You are limited only by your server storage, which you can expand through your Opsily dashboard at any time.
Zero Maintenance on Your End
We handle updates, security patches, SSL, PostgreSQL, and daily backups. When NocoDB ships a new release, we apply it to your instance. You focus on building with your data, not keeping a server alive.
Built for teams who need reliability
Everything Your Team Needs From a Database Platform
NocoDB is not a stripped-down spreadsheet. It is a full no-code database platform with views, APIs, automations, and access control. You get every feature Airtable offers, running on infrastructure you control.
Five View Types for Every Workflow
Grid, kanban, gallery, form, and calendar views are all built in. Switch between them without touching the underlying data. Your operations team uses kanban, your sales team uses grid, and your clients submit via forms, all from the same base.
Connect to Your Existing Database
NocoDB can connect directly to an existing PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite database and give it a spreadsheet interface. You do not have to migrate your data or rewrite anything. Point NocoDB at your database and it builds the views automatically.
REST APIs and SDKs Out of the Box
Every table in NocoDB automatically gets a REST API. Developers can read, write, and automate data without building a backend. Combine this with n8n or Activepieces on the same server and you have a complete no-code data stack.

NocoDB Cloud Limitations: What the Free Tier Actually Restricts
NocoDB Cloud works for personal projects. Teams hit its walls faster than expected.
Record cap: The free plan limits you to 50,000 rows across all bases. A sales team with active pipeline data or an operations team logging daily records can reach this in weeks.
API call limit: 100,000 API calls per month on the free tier. If you connect NocoDB to n8n, Zapier, or any automation that reads or writes rows, this cap disappears quickly.
Storage ceiling: 20GB for file attachments. Images, PDFs, and document uploads all count toward this limit.
Per-seat billing on paid plans: Upgrading to NocoDB Cloud Plus costs $12 per editor seat per month, billed annually. A 10-person team pays $1,440 per year just for access.
What Changes When You Self-Host NocoDB
Self-hosted NocoDB is the full open-source build with no artificial limits. No row caps, no API quotas, no per-seat charges. Your server disk and RAM are the only constraints, and those you control.
On Opsily, you get a fully managed self-hosted instance on a dedicated EU server for a flat monthly fee. Updates, backups, SSL, and PostgreSQL are all handled for you.
The right fit: Teams with more than three editors, workflows heavy on API calls or automations, EU data residency requirements, or anyone who has hit a NocoDB Cloud overage.

Common Questions About Managed NocoDB Hosting
Things teams ask before moving their data off Airtable and onto their own server.
NocoDB Cloud free caps you at 50,000 records, 100,000 API calls per month, and 20GB of file storage. There is no per-seat charge on the free tier, but these hard limits make it unsuitable for teams with active data workflows. Upgrading to Plus removes most limits but adds $12 per editor seat per month, billed annually. Self-hosted NocoDB on Opsily has none of these caps — your limits are your server resources, which you control.
