Memos vs Teable
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Memos and Teable — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Memos vs Teable: at a glance
What is Memos?
Memos adds collaborative Spaces without handing administrators the keys to everyone's notes.
Memos is a self-hosted memo archive that has spent three release candidates rebuilding its foundations rather than its surface. 0.27 embedded an MCP server in the instance, 0.30 flipped undeclared instances to private mode and regenerated that MCP surface from the OpenAPI schema, and 0.31.0-rc.1 now introduces first-class Spaces with ADMIN and USER memberships. The ownership model was rewritten alongside it: instance administrators are no longer implicit collaborators on other people's memos.
What is Teable?
Teable adds Composio integration and Scheduled Routines, pivoting from spreadsheet to agentic workflow platform.
Teable has moved well past its initial positioning as an Airtable alternative. In the past week alone it shipped admin-configured AI model tiers, an AI-powered App Builder with preset prompts, Composio integration for hundreds of third-party apps, and Scheduled Routines for agent task automation. The product is now simultaneously a structured database, an AI chat interface, a scraping platform, and an automation hub.

Memos
3.8COLLAB
Memos adds collaborative Spaces without handing administrators the keys to everyone's notes.
◆ Current state
Memos is a self-hosted memo archive that has spent three release candidates rebuilding its foundations rather than its surface. 0.27 embedded an MCP server in the instance, 0.30 flipped undeclared instances to private mode and regenerated that MCP surface from the OpenAPI schema, and 0.31.0-rc.1 now introduces first-class Spaces with ADMIN and USER memberships. The ownership model was rewritten alongside it: instance administrators are no longer implicit collaborators on other people's memos.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction runs from one person's notebook toward shared, agent-addressable infrastructure, and the order matters — access control and a stable API surface landed before multi-user sharing did. Each candidate has carried its breaking changes rather than deferring them: Shortcuts became Saved Views across the API, MCP tools and web routes, reactions lost content_id, S3 attachments stopped returning presigned URLs, and the Explore and per-user RSS feeds now return 404. Memos is willing to spend client compatibility to keep the data model coherent.
◆ Prediction
Expect 0.31 to reach a stable release with migration guidance for the Saved Views rename, and for Space scoping to extend next to the surfaces the notes say stay global — Archived, Inbox, profiles and Settings.
Teable
7.5COLLAB
Teable adds Composio integration and Scheduled Routines, pivoting from spreadsheet to agentic workflow platform.
◆ Current state
Teable has moved well past its initial positioning as an Airtable alternative. In the past week alone it shipped admin-configured AI model tiers, an AI-powered App Builder with preset prompts, Composio integration for hundreds of third-party apps, and Scheduled Routines for agent task automation. The product is now simultaneously a structured database, an AI chat interface, a scraping platform, and an automation hub.
◆ Where it's heading
The Composio integration is the clearest directional signal: connecting to hundreds of OAuth apps turns Teable into a workflow automation competitor to Zapier and Make, not just a database tool. Combine that with Scheduled Routines (agent task scheduling with run history) and Admin AI model tiers (centralized model governance for multi-tenant deployments), and Teable is building the infrastructure for enterprise agentic workflows on top of a structured data layer.
◆ Prediction
Composio connection depth will expand rapidly — expect billing around automation runs and connected app counts within 2–3 months. The retired Gmail/Outlook native connections (replaced by IMAP) suggest Teable is offloading email infrastructure to focus on the higher-value workflow and AI layers.
