SeaTable

What SeaTable does

SeaTable is a German no-code and low-code platform provider, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Mainz, Germany, operating with a headcount of 11-50 employees. The product combines a spreadsheet-style interface with relational database capabilities, an AI-supported workflow engine, and a drag-and-drop App Builder, all delivered through the browser. The platform is offered in three deployment variants: SeaTable Cloud (SaaS hosted in certified German data centers), SeaTable Dedicated (isolated infrastructure), and SeaTable Server (on-premises self-hosted), giving customers a choice between instant self-serve access and full data sovereignty. Native integrations with Zapier, Make, and n8n, plus a documented REST API and SDK, connect SeaTable into broader automation stacks.

The company targets a horizontal set of business functions including Marketing, Project Management, Human Resources, Public Service, Software Development, Sales/CRM, Finance, Operations, and custom internal workflows. Its go-to-market is dual: a product-led growth motion through a free cloud tier with instant, no-credit-card registration, alongside an enterprise field sales motion for Dedicated and Server deployments where compliance or on-premises requirements apply. Named customers include the United Nations, German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr), BWI, Max Planck Society, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, TU Berlin, HCERES, CMA CGM, TELUS, CJ CheilJedang, Eolane, Toyo Engineering, Red Dot, and Aésio, spanning research, government, defense, logistics, telecom, manufacturing, and education. The company reports 100,000+ Docker Hub downloads in its first year, 1,500+ daily active users on SeaTable Cloud, and a 4.6/5 rating on Capterra.

Revenue is generated through tiered subscription pricing across the three deployment variants plus a freemium entry point, with annual, monthly, and multi-year contract cadences available. SeaTable is privately held, founder-controlled, and appears bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding rounds, no parent company, and no M&A activity documented. GDPR/DSGVO compliance and exclusive EU data residency are central to its positioning as a European alternative to Airtable, Notion, Asana, and Excel, particularly for regulated public-sector and enterprise buyers.

Emerging players

• Glide: Glide is a no-code platform for building business apps from spreadsheet data, targeting Citizen Developers without engineering resources. SeaTable's App Builder and flexible data views overlap with Glide's core no-code app-building proposition.
• Baserow: Baserow is an open-source no-code database platform with views (Grid, Kanban, Gallery) and a self-host option. As a fellow EU-based, open-source-friendly Airtable alternative, it competes head-on with SeaTable for European privacy-conscious SMBs and developers.
• NocoDB: NocoDB is an open-source Airtable alternative built on top of databases, offering spreadsheet views, APIs, and automation. It overlaps with SeaTable's open-source/Self-host appeal and competes for the same technically inclined developer/Citizen Developer audience.
• Stackby: Stackby is a no-code collaborative database platform combining spreadsheets, APIs, and automation. It targets similar SMB and team use cases as SeaTable Cloud, with comparable view types (Grid, Kanban, Calendar).

Direct peers

• Retool: Retool is a low-code platform for building internal business applications with drag-and-drop components and database integrations. SeaTable's App Builder targets the same citizen-developer/internal-tool use case, particularly with on-premises deployment appealing to Retool Self-Hosted buyers.
• Airtable: Airtable is the closest direct competitor, offering a no-code spreadsheet-database hybrid with views (Kanban, Gallery, Calendar), automations, and an app builder. SeaTable explicitly positions itself as a GDPR-compliant alternative to Airtable, especially for EU customers with data residency needs.
• Notion: Notion is an all-in-one workspace that combines documents, databases, and lightweight apps with views like Kanban, Timeline, and Gallery. SeaTable directly competes for the same horizontal team-collaboration use cases, particularly with European buyers prioritizing data sovereignty.

Broad incumbents

• monday.com: monday.com is an established work management OS with strong project management, CRM, and workflow capabilities. SeaTable's PM/Kanban/CRM segments directly overlap with monday.com's core offering, though SeaTable's database depth is a differentiating angle.
• ClickUp: ClickUp is an all-in-one productivity platform combining tasks, docs, whiteboards, and databases. Its database views and customizable workspaces compete with SeaTable's horizontal flexibility, particularly for SMB and mid-market team buyers.
• Microsoft Lists: Microsoft Lists is the spreadsheet-database hybrid within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, offering templates, views, and integration with Teams and SharePoint. It competes with SeaTable in regulated enterprise environments already standardized on Microsoft.
