Not what I could call 'open source'. Basic features (e.g. 'XML and JSON export') require a subscription to the 'premium' or 'enterprise' plans, even when self-hosting.

It looks like you can export to, at minimum, CSV with the self-hosted edition: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/nqj9ni/just_rel...

Also the free plan isn't the same as the Open Source edition, which doesn't have data limits.

Founder of Baserow here. Exporting to XML and JSON are the first features that we're going to move into the free plan of Baserow as soon as we have new premium features to replace them with.

Right, so it’s open core, not open source

I want your company to be successful as airtable needs competition.

The TechCrunch article classified you as full open source but this doesn’t seem accurate.

It’s ok to be proprietary and charge money for licenses. The confusion is when the label “open source” is used for non open source software.

Have a looksie at BudiBase[0], another open source low-code platform. I believe SSO is still functional in the open source version, but roles do not exist.
