Looking for a Microsoft Lists Alternative?
Flexible, intuitive, AI-powered, and GDPR-compliant: With SeaTable, you manage your lists and processes, automate workflows with AI, and never surrender control of your data. Ideal for companies that prioritize data privacy and prefer not to store their information in the Microsoft Cloud.
The SeaTable Advantage
SeaTable is the perfect alternative to Microsoft Lists
If you know Microsoft Lists, you’ll love SeaTable. Our no-code platform offers integrated AI features for your workflows. We are also the only alternative that allows you to run SeaTable on your own server, in your own data center, using your own domain and corporate identity.
On-Premises
Corporate data belongs in your hands, not with third parties. Microsoft Lists is only available as part of Office 365 in the Microsoft Cloud. With SeaTable, you decide where to install your system, which AI models to connect, and who has access to your data.
More Features and Views
With over 20 column types, SeaTable offers significantly more data entry options than Microsoft Lists. Only SeaTable allows for advanced table linking, web form collection, and data visualization via Kanban or charts—enhanced by AI-driven data analysis and text processing upon request.
A Solution in Your Design
Unlike Office 365 products, Microsoft Lists cannot be customized to your corporate design. With SeaTable, you are in control. Define your own URL, use your company colors, and display your own logo for a fully branded experience.
Free Trial, Affordable Business Plans
SeaTable is available in various versions. SeaTable Cloud includes all user functions and AI automations, making it easy to try out. You can also install and test SeaTable Server for up to three users for free, with no obligation.
Custom Extensions, Plugins, and AI
SeaTable’s plugin system knows no bounds. Need a specific geo-data visualization or want to use AI models for classification, extraction, or summaries? No problem! SeaTable offers a dedicated plugin system and SeaTable AI—a flexible connection for external and self-hosted AI models tailored to your needs.
Flexible Data Entry
SeaTable outpaces Microsoft Lists in data entry functionality. Use web forms, share links, and “Data Collection Sheets” to gather information from employees or partners. Enhance this with AI-powered processing like translation and summarization to consolidate all info into one system.
