What to check before you move a team onto Airtable
An app a team lives in all day is the hardest kind of software to leave. These are the questions that matter more than the feature list.
What it costs per seat, in a year
At $24 per user per month, a team of ten is $2880 a year before a single add-on. Price the team you will have in a year, not the one you have today.
Which roles have to pay
Many plans charge full price for people who only need to read or approve. If light users need a seat, the real cost is the headline price times everyone, not times the core team.
Whether you can get your data out
Ask what a full export contains and in what format. An export that drops attachments, comments or history is not an export — it is a reason you will not leave.
What the move itself costs
Migration, retraining and the weeks of lower output are the real switching cost. Count them once when you adopt, because you pay them again if you change your mind.
These are the checks we apply across saas, in the same order, so two pages can be compared line for line.
How much does Airtable really cost?
Our calculation from the vendor's published prices — not a figure the vendor advertises.
The headline price is for one person. Adding people multiplies it, so a team of ten pays ten times the advertised figure. Cost increases linearly with number of editors (users with edit permissions). Free plan allows up to 5 editors; paid plans charge per editor per month.
| Team size | Per month | Per year | Over 3 years | How it is charged |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 person | $24 | $288 | $864 | $24 per seat per month |
| 5 people | $120 | $1,440 | $4,320 | $24 per seat per month |
| 10 people | $240 | $2,880 | $8,640 | $24 per seat per month |
| 50 people | $1,200 | $14,400 | $43,200 | $24 per seat per month |
Based on the Team plan at $24 a month. Three years at the published annual price. No renewal increase is published.
- The vendor does not publish a renewal price, so three-year totals assume today's price holds.

| Biggest strength | Genuinely no-code AI deployment — you can build intelligent agents and workflows without writing a single line of code, which is rare at this level of sophistication | Slackbot's contextual awareness of your team's conversations and files eliminates constant app-switching — it actually knows what you've been working on | Real-time collaboration is genuinely excellent — multiple designers can work simultaneously without conflicts or lag |
| Biggest drawback | Pricing opacity — the page provides no pricing information whatsoever, which suggests costs scale quickly once you need AI features or enterprise capabilities | AI features like Slackbot and summarisation require paid plans, pricing out smaller teams who'd benefit most from automation | Performance degrades noticeably on complex files with hundreds of artboards or heavy plugins |
