What are some free alternatives to using Google Sheets and Google Data Studio to create a responsive, filterable, and sortable dynamic table on a simple website built with Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Webflow CMS + Jetboost: Use CMS Collections for table data and integrate Jetboost for filtering and sorting.
  • Airtable + Table2Site/Softr: Set up an Airtable Base and embed it in Webflow for interactive tables.
  • DataTables.js: Embed an HTML table and apply DataTables.js for sorting, filtering, and pagination.
  • Glide/Google Apps Script: Use Glide for a no-code table or Google Apps Script to fetch data from Google Sheets.

For creating a responsive, filterable, and sortable dynamic table in Webflow without using Google Sheets or Google Data Studio, consider these free alternatives:

1. Webflow CMS with Jetboost (Limited Free Option)

  • Webflow CMS allows dynamic collections, which you can structure as a table.
  • Jetboost (a third-party tool) offers real-time filtering and sorting, with a free tier that supports limited functionality.
  • Steps:
  • Create a CMS Collection for your table data.
  • Use Collection Lists to structure the table layout.
  • Integrate Jetboost for interactive filtering and sorting.

2. Airtable with Table2Site or Softr

  • Airtable provides an easy-to-use database with API support.
  • Use Table2Site or Softr (free versions have limitations) to embed an interactive table.
  • Steps:
  • Set up an Airtable Base with structured table data.
  • Embed the table in Webflow using Table2Site (iframe) or Softr.

3. DataTables.js (JavaScript-Based)

  • DataTables.js is a free jQuery plugin that enables sorting, filtering, and pagination.
  • Requires custom JavaScript in Webflow’s Embed element.
  • Steps:
  • Create a static HTML table in Webflow.
  • Add the DataTables.js script using an Embed block.

4. Glide or Google Apps Script (Automation-Based)

  • Glide allows data-driven tables powered by an Airtable-like backend.
  • Google Apps Script can turn a Google Sheet into a JSON API, which you can then load into Webflow using JavaScript.
  • Steps:
  • Import your data into Glide or Google Apps Script.
  • Embed the table using a public link or JavaScript fetch requests.

Summary

For Webflow-native solutions, use Webflow CMS + Jetboost (for simple filtering) or DataTables.js (for advanced control). If you prefer external data sources, Airtable with Table2Site or Softr is a solid choice. Need a no-code interactive table? Glide or Google Apps Script can help.
