Keybase vs Teable
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Keybase and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Keybase vs Teable: at a glance
What is Keybase?
Keybase's feed is mostly broken crawls; the one real release (v6.6.0) is iOS polish from March.
Three of the four entries the crawler captured are GitHub error pages ('Sorry, something went wrong') that mostly contain a username and the standard tab navigation — the crawler is hitting profile pages that load partially. The only real content is v6.6.0 on March 6, which shipped iOS sharing improvements, Emoji 16 support, HEIC avatars, and assorted fixes.
What is Teable?
Teable adds an MCP tool that queries records without SQL, under existing access controls.
Teable ships near-daily. This week added impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, App Builder custom domains and OIDC on self-hosted instances, and token permission presets. On November 6 it added a read-only MCP query-data tool for filtering, grouping, aggregation and pagination without SQL, mobile chat search, and a DATETIME_DIFF change that counts whole days with daylight-saving-safe time zones.

Keybase
1.3COLLAB
Keybase's feed is mostly broken crawls; the one real release (v6.6.0) is iOS polish from March.
◆ Current state
Three of the four entries the crawler captured are GitHub error pages ('Sorry, something went wrong') that mostly contain a username and the standard tab navigation — the crawler is hitting profile pages that load partially. The only real content is v6.6.0 on March 6, which shipped iOS sharing improvements, Emoji 16 support, HEIC avatars, and assorted fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
Keybase remains in slow-maintenance mode under Zoom: sporadic point releases focused on mobile niceties, no signs of a meaningful directional push. Confidence is limited by the source quality — half the feed is unusable.
◆ Prediction
Source likely needs re-pointing to the GitHub releases feed for the keybase/client repo to capture future releases reliably. Product itself probably ships another iOS-focused point release before any cross-platform feature lands.
Teable
8.8COLLAB
Teable adds an MCP tool that queries records without SQL, under existing access controls.
◆ Current state
Teable ships near-daily. This week added impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, App Builder custom domains and OIDC on self-hosted instances, and token permission presets. On November 6 it added a read-only MCP query-data tool for filtering, grouping, aggregation and pagination without SQL, mobile chat search, and a DATETIME_DIFF change that counts whole days with daylight-saving-safe time zones.
◆ Where it's heading
Teable is making its database safe to hand to AI agents and less technical builders: agents get structured query tools that respect permissions, while humans get previews before destructive changes and correct time zone math. Self-hosted governance features keep arriving alongside.
◆ Prediction
Expect write-side MCP tools with the same permission model and preview-before-apply behaviour, since both pieces now exist separately.
