NocoDB is an alternative of table-based low code platform, an alternative to SeaTable / Airtable. Most importantly, it is open source.
If you are technical enough to setup own server with docker, NocoDB will be your handy tool, or else, you can always get IT department’s help on this. In fact, NocoDB provide plenty of installation / deployment options. See here for more detail.
Compared with SeaTable / Airtable, functions in NocoDB are relatively limited – at least for now, but it is still a handy tool, especially you don’t need to worry about the budget for license.

Cost
It is an open source project, hence technically no cost to use the software, but you will have to pay for the cost of the infrastructure – server hosting.
