Why is the feature I need not in Community Edition?
We know it can be disappointing when a feature you need isn’t available in community edition. But before we react, let’s reflect: NocoDB community edition is empowering over 35,000 companies — for free without any cost.
In the sector of software that often takes, we choose to give. Yet, to continue serving with integrity, some capabilities are part of our paid plans — not as a barrier, but as a way to sustain the service for all.
