Airtable review and pricing

Database-led project management for ops teams.

By Formagrid, Inc. · Founded 2012 · San Francisco, CA · private

Airtable is the spreadsheet-database hybrid for ops teams building custom workflows. The product's strength is letting non-developers build app-like workflows with relational databases, custom views (Grid, Kanban, Gallery, Gantt, Timeline, Calendar), and automations. Best-fit for content production, marketing ops, HR ops. Trade-offs: not a true project management tool; per-seat pricing scales aggressively at higher tiers.
