6 free alternatives to Deepnote

Datalore's free Cloud plan gives you unlimited notebooks, notebook export, notebook API access, environment customization, coding assistance, one shared workspace, one interactive shareable report, 120 CPU S machine hours, and 10 GB of cloud storage. That makes it a better fit if your main pain point is Deepnote's 5-project ceiling and you want a free tier with more room for notebook count and storage. It falls short on collaboration scale, since the free plan only includes one workspace and does not offer Deepnote's broader free collaboration set, including real-time collaboration and unlimited viewers. Switch if you want a notebook-first free plan with more storage and a clearer path for individual experimentation.

• Beats Deepnote: Unlimited notebooks and 10 GB of cloud storage
• Falls short: Only one shared workspace, versus Deepnote's unlimited viewers and broader collaboration on free
• Who should switch: Switch here if you want more notebook room and storage without immediately paying for a small team workspace.

Julius gives you 100 credits per month on the free tier, access to Notebooks for analysis workflows, free-tier file storage format support, a Google Drive connector, and 2 GB of RAM for processing. It is a better fit if your work is light, AI-assisted analysis on files and Drive data, and you can live with a smaller compute footprint. It falls short of Deepnote on teamwork and notebook infrastructure, since the free tier does not state anything like Deepnote's real-time collaboration, viewers, scheduled runs, or broad SQL and database integration list. Switch if your priority is quick analysis with AI help rather than a shared notebook workspace.

• Beats Deepnote: AI credit allowance for analysis workflows
• Falls short: No stated collaboration features like Deepnote's real-time teamwork and viewers
• Who should switch: Switch here if your work is individual or light-team analysis and you care more about AI-assisted exploration than shared notebook operations.

Hex's free Community plan includes up to 5 notebooks, support for any data source connection, all cell types, a notebook agent trial, and Small compute. It beats Deepnote on data-source flexibility because the free tier explicitly says you can connect any data source, which is handy if your workflow spans many warehouses or databases. It falls short on team-oriented free capacity, since the plan is still capped at 5 notebooks and does not match Deepnote's free unlimited viewers, commenting, scheduled runs, or the wider set of notebook collaboration features. Switch if your main constraint is connecting data, not sharing a larger collaborative workspace.

• Beats Deepnote: Connect any data source on the free plan
• Falls short: Fewer notebooks and less collaborative free workspace capacity
• Who should switch: Switch here if your notebook work is limited by connector flexibility more than by team collaboration.

Colab is always free of charge to use, and the free tier does not list an explicit quota or usage limit. That makes it the simplest option if you only need a browser notebook and do not care about workspace structure, editors, or project caps. It falls short of Deepnote on collaboration, data app style workflows, and governed workspace features because the free listing here does not provide any of those operational details. It is also much less explicit about what you get on the free tier, so it is best for builders who want a no-cost notebook environment with minimal planning overhead. Switch if you mainly need a free place to run Python notebooks and can accept opaque limits.

• Beats Deepnote: No explicit free-tier quota is listed
• Falls short: Much less defined collaboration and workspace structure than Deepnote
• Who should switch: Switch here if you want an always-free notebook and can tolerate unspecified capacity limits.

Rows' free forever plan includes unlimited spreadsheets, 10 integration accounts, up to 3 guest members, 500 Rows API calls per month, 500 limited cell enrichment tasks per month, branded embeds, 7 days of version history, manual imports, and 5 AI Tasks per month. It is better than Deepnote on spreadsheet-style workflows and gives you a surprisingly broad free set of integrations and API access. It falls short on notebook depth and compute, since Deepnote's free plan is built around cloud notebooks, code blocks, SQL blocks, scheduled runs, and Basic machine compute. Switch if your analysis lives closer to spreadsheets and embeds than to notebook-driven data science.

• Beats Deepnote: Spreadsheet-style analysis with API calls and integration accounts
• Falls short: No notebook compute environment like Deepnote's Basic machines and code blocks
• Who should switch: Switch here if your workflow is spreadsheet-first and you need free integrations and embeds more than notebook compute.

Row Zero's free plan includes 1 workbook, 10s of millions of rows, 400+ Excel-compatible functions, AI chat, pivot tables and charts, import support for common file types, built-in data connectors, real-time collaboration, and compliance coverage for SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA. It beats Deepnote on row-scale and spreadsheet compatibility, which matters if your data is large and the interface needs to feel familiar to Excel users. It falls short on notebook-style authoring, since the free tier is centered on a single workbook rather than multi-project notebooks with code blocks, SQL blocks, and app-style outputs. Switch if you need free large-scale spreadsheet analysis instead of a notebook workspace.

• Beats Deepnote: 10s of millions of rows in a spreadsheet workflow
• Falls short: Only 1 workbook, so it is less flexible than Deepnote's multi-project notebook model
• Who should switch: Switch here if you want a spreadsheet interface for big data rather than a collaborative notebook environment.
