Set up Baserow version
Baserow can be configured in two ways, depending on how you intend to use it.
- Hosted SaaS version on the baserow.io website, or
- Self-hosted on your own instance on-premise or in the cloud.
Baserow is organised into workspaces. Each workspace has users invited to become members. Users can use Baserow completely for free or upgrade to a paid plan in both the self-hosted and baserow.io SaaS versions.
SaaS (hosted cloud version)
We provide a hosted version of Baserow which you can sign up for and start using immediately for free at https://baserow.io.
To upgrade a SaaS hosted version from a free to a paid plan, a paid subscription is purchased separately for each Baserow workspace. You will need to purchase a paid plan to allow all users in the workspace to access Baserow premium features.

Self hosted (your own server)
You can easily install Baserow on your own server. It is possible to run Baserow and register licenses on an air-gapped server, not connected to the internet. See our installation documentation for options for setting up a self-hosted Baserow server if you don’t already have one.
With self-hosting, you can host an application on a server you control and host the database on-premises or on a rented server in a data centre. You’ll oversee the administration and maintenance of your own server (usually on-premises), with complete control of all your data and services without depending on third-party providers.
To upgrade a Self hosted version from a free to a paid plan, a subscription is purchased separately for a Baserow instance. You will need to purchase a paid plan to allow your users access Baserow premium features.
