What It Is

Entu positions itself as a Flexible Object Database. Instead of providing fixed, predefined business modules, its core idea is to let users configure entity types, properties, relationships, and access permissions directly through a web UI. It can serve both as a data management backend for business users and, via its REST API, as the backend for custom web applications.

Core Capabilities

Entu focuses on no-code data modeling: fields and relationships can be changed at any time, and the copy emphasizes that no migrations or deployments are required. For permissions, it offers four access levels—owner, editor, expander, and viewer—and permissions can automatically cascade along parent-child relationships. It also supports multilingual fields and values, making it suitable for organizations with localized content management needs. Extensibility features include iframe plugin tabs and Webhooks. On the developer side, it provides a full CRUD REST API, JWT authentication, an interactive OpenAPI explorer, and a signed S3 URL flow for file uploads.

Pricing

Pricing is tiered by object count and storage capacity: from €2/month for 1,000 objects and 1GB, €10/month for 10,000 objects and 10GB, €40/month for 100,000 objects, 100GB, and ID authentication, and €200/month for 500,000 objects, 500GB, a custom domain, and priority support. Prices exclude VAT. For small teams or lightweight internal systems, the entry cost is relatively low.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its flexible data model, built-in admin UI, comprehensive permissions and multilingual features, and fairly concrete API documentation examples. It is well suited for quickly building systems for libraries, museums, inventory, documents, digital signage, or data collection. The drawbacks are that the content does not state whether it is open source or self-hostable, nor does it disclose SLA, backup, data center, or payment method details. The terms of service also state that Entu may modify or discontinue the service and terminate accounts, and that the service is provided “as is,” which requires additional evaluation for mission-critical systems.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Entu is suitable for small and midsize organizations, schools, cultural institutions, and development teams that need to quickly build flexible data backends. If you require highly controlled deployment, strong compliance, or stable access from mainland China, you should evaluate it carefully. The source content does not provide information on access from mainland China, and payment methods are not disclosed. Comparable alternatives include Airtable, Baserow, NocoDB, Directus, and Supabase.
