Why it's listed

Baserow is listed in bi & internal tools because it competes on utility: open airtable alternative. It's VC-backed — we note this openly and watch the monetization path; the license and self-host route are the safeguards. Licensed MIT/premium; pricing: free (ce) / paid. Its resource footprint is reasonable for what it does, though not featherweight. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
