Free Online Databases
by onlinedb • May 10, 2010 • Online Database • 0 Comments
You can find many free online word processors and spreadsheets, but when it comes to online database the universe is much smaller and the choices for “free” online databases are even more limited. The main reason is that databases are typically more complex applications and more goes into maintaining them. Furthermore, they are marketed to business who supposedly can afford to pay for it.
There are still good free online databases out there. We have assembled a few here.
Caspio Free Online Database
A free Caspio Personal account has more of what most users care about. You can build 2 apps which could be any combination of forms or reports, for unlimited users and store well over 100,000 records in your tables. Caspio limits the number of auto emails to 100 per months. If you reach your limit, your apps stop working for the remainder of the month or you could become a paying customer.
We found Caspio’s free online database to be the most generous offering available.
DabbleDB Free Commons Plan
DabbleDB gives you space for 100,000 records and access to 15 users, which is plenty for most users, but your data becomes public.
Zoho Creator Free Account
Zoho’s free package is quite limited. It’s only good for 2 users, 3 apps and 2 reports. Records are limited to only 1,000 and there appears to be no emails in the free package.
Google Spreadsheet
Google Spreadsheet is not a true database, however, if you simply need an online place to store some data, it may be adequate.
