- $0 / forever (Open Source)
- License
- AGPL-3.0
- Hosting Model
- Local or hosted (your machine or their cloud)
- Platforms
- webself-hosteddocker to self-host
- Installation
- Hosted signup, or Docker Compose/Kubernetes for self-hosting
- Operational Setup
- Self-hosting needs Docker, at least 4 GB RAM, PostgreSQL, secrets, storage, and a public URL; the full AI/App Builder stack is materially heavier than the standalone deployment
- Where Your Data Lives
- Cloud records live in Teable Cloud; self-hosted records live in PostgreSQL, with attachments in local, MinIO, S3, or Aliyun object storage; bases export as .tea backups and tables as CSV
- The Catch / Trade-off
- Teable is an Airtable-like database rather than a project execution suite, so dependencies, portfolio reporting, and resource management are substantially weaker.
