What is NocoDB?

NocoDB is steadily expanding from a spreadsheet-database into a fuller project and data workspace.

NocoDB ships at a brisk cadence, alternating feature releases with bugfix point releases. Recent feature drops add a Gantt view, Shared Pages, Bookmarks, Smart Text, Mermaid diagrams, and richer form layouts, while interleaved patches fix groupby retries and a Monaco editor crash. Many headline features are gated to paid and Enterprise tiers.

What is Cluvio?

Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.

Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.

NocoDB vs Cluvio: editorial side-by-side

N
NocoDB
ANALYTICS
6.3

NocoDB is steadily expanding from a spreadsheet-database into a fuller project and data workspace.

◆ Current state

NocoDB ships at a brisk cadence, alternating feature releases with bugfix point releases. Recent feature drops add a Gantt view, Shared Pages, Bookmarks, Smart Text, Mermaid diagrams, and richer form layouts, while interleaved patches fix groupby retries and a Monaco editor crash. Many headline features are gated to paid and Enterprise tiers.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is broadening beyond its Airtable-style core toward project scheduling (Gantt), document features (Shared Pages, Mermaid), and form sophistication. Paid-tier gating of the marquee features suggests a deliberate push to monetize the open-source base.

◆ Prediction

Expect more view types and collaboration surfaces, with the newest capabilities continuing to land first on Cloud paid and Enterprise tiers before any community-edition trickle-down.

ANALYTICS
5.0

Cluvio keeps sharpening the SQL-analyst workflow, and now lets you query files without a database.

◆ Current state

Cluvio is a SQL-first BI tool methodically polishing the analyst loop: chart types, alerting, settings, and exports. The recent run leans heavily toward usability — redesigned preferences with country presets, a clearer datasource picker, and exports that now carry their own context. The one real capability expansion is Static Tables, which lets users query uploaded CSV and Excel files with SQL via an embedded DataFusion engine.

◆ Where it's heading

Most recent work tightens existing surfaces rather than opening new ones — the product is maturing its core rather than chasing scope. The exception, querying files without a connected database, points to Cluvio positioning itself for ad-hoc analysis, not only dashboards over warehouses. Expect continued UX consolidation across settings, exports, and pickers, interleaved with occasional capability adds like new chart types.

◆ Prediction

Likely next moves are further build-out of Static Tables — more file formats or richer joins across uploads — alongside continued chart and alerting polish. The cadence reads as incremental shipping rather than a large directional pivot.
