Our review
Pros	Relational sheets, linked records, and subtables support complex operational data. Granular permissions, workflows, and action buttons support controlled processes. Mobile apps offer offline support, with cloud and on-premises deployment options.	Relational modeling supports complex one-to-one and many-to-many data. Role-based privileges control access to records, fields, layouts, and scripts. Deploy through cloud, self-hosting, desktop, mobile, web, and APIs.
Cons	The Free plan limits teams to three custom sheets and 1,000 records each. Advanced plans become costly, especially concurrent-user and dedicated-server options.

Cloud Starter is limited to three hosted apps and five active flows.
