When you need to organize records and give people a way to work with them, no-code databases offer different combinations of data structure and app-building features. Compare relational data and record limits with permission controls and workflow automation. API access, an app interface builder, and deployment options also matter, as do free-plan availability and paid-from pricing. Airtable, Grist, and Lark are examples to weigh against your needs: consider the shape of your data, who needs access, and how the resulting tool should fit into your operations.
