Airtable

Overview

Airtable gives small businesses a flexible platform to organize data, manage projects, and automate repetitive tasks without hiring a developer. You start with a free plan that supports up to 5 editors, 1,000 records per base, and 100 automation runs per month. When your team grows, the Team plan costs $20 per seat per month (billed annually) and expands your limits to 50,000 records and 25,000 automation runs. The tool offers multiple ways to view your data, including grid, kanban, calendar, gallery, and Gantt views, so different team members can work in the format that suits them. Built-in AI features come included on every plan, with 500 credits per editor per month on the free tier. Airtable works on iOS and Android, supports real-time collaboration, and lets you build custom interfaces without writing a single line of code.
