ADoor vs Quickbase
Quickbase is a low-code platform that operations teams use to build apps on their data. ADoor is a data account for the records a company keeps, where people, apps and assistants like ChatGPT each get their own access, set up from a chat.
Where ADoor stands out
A hosted MCP server
Quickbase's developer site documents a REST API, and we couldn't find an official Quickbase MCP server. ADoor's MCP server is hosted, with an OAuth sign-in, for ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor.
No minimums
Quickbase's Team plan starts at $35 per user a month billed yearly, plus a platform fee. ADoor is free for 3 tables and 100 rows, and Pro is $10 a month per workspace.
Per-agent access
In ADoor, each assistant, device and CI job has its own access, down to specific fields, or just the entries that match a value you choose, and an assistant never gets more than the person who connected it.

ADoor
ADoor is your data account. You keep lists and tables in a workspace you own, personal or team: a reading list, an incident log, a list of customers. Describe what you want to keep track of and it's set up for you, with real Postgres underneath. Every person, app, assistant, device and job gets its own access.
- Assistants
- ChatGPT, Claude, Grok and Cursor connect through MCP with a sign-in.
- Apps and scripts
- An HTTP API with keys, running the same actions assistants use
- Access
- Per space, list or field, or just the entries where a field equals a value you choose. Reading, adding, editing and deleting entries, and changing a list's fields, are separate permissions. An assistant never gets more than the person who connected it.
- Approvals
- Agents ask for more access and you approve or deny. A new device signs in only after you approve it and choose its access.
- CI jobs
- GitHub Actions signs in with short-lived access, 15 minutes by default and up to 30 days, with no stored secret.
- Revoking
- Takes effect on the next request. What was already saved stays.
- History
- A history of changes, with who made each one and the before and after
- Underneath
- Standard Postgres
- Plans
- Free for 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage.

Which one should you use?
Use Quickbase when
you're building operational apps for a large team and want an enterprise platform and support around them.
- Enterprise apps. Quickbase is built for operational apps at scale. ADoor has no app builder.
- Audit through the API. Audit logs are available as endpoints.
- A vendor relationship. Plans are sold with a platform fee and support.
Use ADoor when
you need records that every assistant and job can use, each with its own limited access, without a platform project.
Technical
- Plant sensors post readings to an add-only Readings list, and engineers query them in SQL.
- A Cursor agent that schedules maintenance reads Assets and edits only the Next service field.
Personal
- The move to a new house: utility accounts, change-of-address tasks and movers' quotes, shared with your partner.
- Your running log for the marathon: distance, pace and how your knee felt. You ask Claude how this week compares to last.
Team
- Safety, operations and HR share an Incidents list. Anyone adds, safety edits, and nobody deletes.
- A history of changes shows who changed each severity and what it was before.
Business
- Each site manager edits only their site's records in a company-wide list.
- A subcontractor adds daily reports for the length of a project, then you revoke it and the reports stay.
