Comparisons and migration

  • [FileMaker alternatives compared](https://bionicforms.com/blog/filemaker-alternatives): nine options with verified prices, the pricing traps named, and the cases where a rival is the better pick.
  • [Microsoft Access alternatives compared](https://bionicforms.com/blog/access-alternatives): every option priced against the $0 Access already costs on a Microsoft 365 plan, the Power Apps and Dataverse arithmetic, and the case for keeping Access and moving only the tables.
  • [HCL Notes and Domino alternatives compared](https://bionicforms.com/blog/lotus-notes-alternatives): written for an inherited departmental app whose author has left, including what never migrates.
  • [Visual FoxPro replacement options compared](https://bionicforms.com/blog/foxpro-alternatives): Xbase++ and PolarFox, FoxInCloud, a .NET rewrite, Access and the table-shaped tools, led by the question that decides which half of the list applies - whether the application was ever really a program. Support ended 13 January 2015 and nothing converts a VFP app into ours.
  • [Coming from Airtable](https://bionicforms.com/airtable): the per-editor comparison stated as arithmetic, including the row where Airtable is cheaper.
  • [Coming from Notion](https://bionicforms.com/notion): for the Notion database that became the business. Seat pricing, the 1,000-block free limit once a second member joins, the Markdown & CSV export, and what does and does not come across.
