Paid plans start at $12/mo. There's also a free plan.
NocoDB is free to start, but its paid Cloud plans begin at $12 per seat per month billed annually ($15 monthly) on Plus. Business costs $24 annually or $30 monthly; Scale costs $45 or $54, with a three-seat minimum. The free Cloud tier has tight usage caps, while Community is a free self-hosted option with unlimited records, storage and seats—but limits on views, workflows and interfaces. Choose by database connections, usage and hosting needs, not headline price alone.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Monthly billing costs more
Plus is $15 per seat monthly versus $12 billed annually. Business is $30 versus $24, and Scale is $54 versus $45.
Scale requires three seats
Scale has a three-seat minimum, so the listed $45 annual-billing rate per seat means at least three seats.
External connections start higher
Plus does not support external database connections. Business includes 10; check this before budgeting around a Postgres or MySQL connection.
Free plans have limits
Free Cloud includes 1,000 records and 1 GB storage. Community removes those caps but limits views, workflows and interfaces.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Personal projects and trials | Free | It costs $0 and includes up to 3 users, but caps usage at 1,000 records, 1 GB storage and 1,000 API calls monthly. |
| Teams connecting external databases | Business | It includes 10 external database connections; Plus does not support them. Business also lists private bases and SAML single sign-on. |
| Teams self-hosting NocoDB | Community | It costs $0 and lists unlimited records, storage and seats, with limits of 6 views, 2 workflows per base and 2 interfaces per workspace. |
04Is NocoDB worth the money?
NocoDB can be good value if a spreadsheet-style interface over a database is the main requirement. The free Cloud tier is useful for small projects, but its record, storage and API limits are real constraints. Plus is not the right fit when you need external database connections. Business adds those connections; Scale costs more and requires at least three seats, while adding row-level security and audit logs. Community avoids Cloud seat and storage charges, but requires self-hosting and has its own feature limits.
