Teable Reviews

I’m still building my database, but I can already see Teable will cause huge headaches for established competitors. I predict it will be a massive success because the projection is amazing.

I finally feel I can create a tool perfectly adapted to my needs. Most software is just a repository where you spend more time saving data than using it. Here, I can create exact fields for real reports and alerts. I chose Cloud to avoid server risks, and to stay GDPR compliant, I use a hybrid system: "secret codes" in Teable and sensitive data in a separate, compliant app.

It’s a bit more work, but the visual management is worth it. I trust the founder’s honesty; he never made false promises. I’m sure they will add EU servers eventually (due to its growing). If not, I’ll keep using my codes or use it for personal tasks and inventory. No regrets at all here!

I want to thank Leo also for his answers to every doubt.

Teable made database work fun for me. I am not exaggerating when I say this.

I have struggled with other database tools before. Teable just worked the way my brain works.

Pros:

The AI Actually Works: I was sceptical at first, but the conversational building is incredible. I described what I needed, and it built it. When I made mistakes, I just told it what to fix, and it understood.

Document Intelligence is a Game Changer: I uploaded invoices, and it pulled all the data out automatically. What would have taken me hours was done in minutes.

Apps Stay Live: Even if subscription status changes, the apps I have published stay online. My clients can still access them.

Real-Time Collaboration: My team can work together simultaneously without stepping on each other's toes. Changes show up instantly for everyone.

The Permission System is Powerful: I love that I can hide sensitive information from certain team members without creating separate databases. The Authority Matrix gives really granular control.

Versatile Automation: The webhook support and automation capabilities let me connect workflows across different tools in my business.

Self-Hosting Available: Knowing I could move everything to my own server gives me peace of mind about data ownership.

Fast and Responsive: The platform is quick. No annoying loading screens or lag when multiple people are working at the same time. This was specifically mentioned by other users (as per my research data).

After using 15,000 credits, here is my honest opinion of Teable.

Overall, the concept of a database with AI is interesting. It is nice that it can create dashboards from a table you build or upload from a CSV. For small datasets (less than 100 rows), it seems less error prone.

Now the negatives note I used their best model only in my tests (Opus 4.6):

1. It cannot handle large datasets. I added a 30,000-row dataset, and it was unable to follow my instructions to clean or reorganize any of the data. It kept stalling and stopping without doing anything, even though it burned through 1,000 credits every time I tried to click the retry button.
2. The platform is not stable. Multiple times, the AI chat stalled and did not continue following my instructions, even when I tried different use cases. Again, it burned through credits without solving my problem.
3. The credit burn is real. If the mistake is on the AI, why does it consume my credits even when it couldn’t solve my problem? Why don’t we get credits refunded when the AI just stops or stalls?
4. It is very slow. Waiting for the AI to respond or analyze can take over 13 minutes sometimes, and when it stalls and does nothing, this is the most frustrating part as you restart or re ask the same instructions and waste more time.
5. I am pretty good at prompting, but even when the AI follows instructions without stalling, it can hallucinate and sometimes add incorrect or irrelevant information you did not ask for, so you have to double-check every time.
6. I appreciate the upfront credits I got, but I have used them all, and most cases I tried were not successful due to the AI stalling and not following instructions.
7. The context window for the AI is set to 200,000 and you cannot change it. In my opinion, this is too small and could be why the AI stalls with big datasets or certain use cases, since it doesn’t have enough space to cover everything.

I am seriously considering refunding this tool. I am happy some other users have enjoyed it, but for me it has been the complete opposite. Maybe my use cases and datasets are too large to handle, I don’t know, but Teable just did not solve most of my cases.

Update:
@Gary I bought the tool yesterday so Ive used it yesterday and today and I believe this period is post your updates on the models and agents. I did send a support ticket yesterday via Teable but no response from your team, I did check no email in my spam I just got an automated response below but no actual response yet on my issue:

"We will notify you of any status updates. If you have more details about this issue, please reply to this email. To keep this thread focused, kindly avoid unrelated topics—thank you.

Best regards,

Teable Support Team"

Update 2: (Email from them asking me to remove my review)

From: Leo

Hi,

Thanks for sharing these details.

It also looks like our previous follow-up email may not have reached you properly. We had sent it to gather a bit more detail so we could better assess the issue, and I’ll attach that message here as a .eml file as well for reference.

In your case, this appears to be related to an issue we’ve identified where the Agent may get interrupted when handling more complex tasks. The Agent is still in beta, and improving this is now one of our top priorities.

To help us better understand the impact on your side, could you share roughly how much of your prompts the AI was actually completing in practice? For example, was it usually closer to 20%, 50%, or 80% of what you asked? Any additional feedback on where it became unreliable would also be very helpful for us.

Based on the information we have so far, we believe your 2-star review may be related to this issue. If you’re open to it, we’d appreciate you considering removing or updating the review for now while we work on the fix. Once this is improved, we hope you’ll reevaluate your experience with Teable based on the progress we’ve made.

Best regards,

Leo

My reply:

I would say the AI completed 30-50% of the task and got stuck or stopped after that.

In the review, I shared my honest experience. It is not my fault the AI did not work for me, yet I still lost 80% of my credits. So why would I remove my review or give you a 5 star rating? I spent $500 on your tool, which is a lot of money, but you ask me to remove my review? Sorry, that is not fair, Leo or fair on my experience and money spent.

I provided the builder with a schema and 7 minutes 51 seconds later: Here's its report. It works. Minutes. not days.

All 13 tables are live (2 SOP + 11 schema). Let me do a quick spot-check on the key link fields.
Verify Cases schema
Verify Invoices schema
Everything is wired up correctly. The symmetric link fields were auto-created too — Cases already shows back-links from Leads, Invoices, Case Stage History, Tasks, Documents, and Interactions.
Your relational schema is fully built — 11 linked tables, all FKs wired. Here's the map:

Stage 1 completeness rate — query Stage Quality Metrics where Core Docs Complete = true
Cycle times — Completed At - Started At on Case Stage History
Lead-to-close conversion — Leads status vs. first paid Invoice
Tier upgrade rate — cases with multiple Invoices across service codes
Slice anything by client, year, tier, stage, or team member The Cases table is your 3D hub — every other table points back to it, and the symmetric back-links are already showing.

This is not an Airtable or Notion alternative. It is a proper system. You get multiple platforms and features into one like database, API, automation etc in one place.

What makes it stand out is how it replaces multiple parts of a stack. Instead of stitching together different services and tools, it all runs in one environment with better control and security.

Building CRMs and internal tools is straightforward and it looks like it can actually scale without breaking. Definitely looking forward to what this can do for my organisation. If you’re on the fence, don’t overthink it just start with Tier 1 and see what it can do or just keep for a rainy day.
