About
Airtable is a cloud workspace for building AI-powered workflows, apps, and agents on top of relational data. It combines a no-code app builder, databases, automations, interfaces, reporting, and integrations so teams can model data, connect workflows, and expose custom views and apps.
The product is aimed at teams that need structured operational software without writing code. The pricing page states that the Free plan is available at no charge and that all users are free on that plan, while paid plans add higher capacity and administrative controls. The page also notes concrete limits on paid usage such as record and attachment caps, but it does not specify the exact free-plan quota in the provided text.
- No-code app building platform
- Relational databases and views
- Automations and interfaces

- Slack, Google Drive, Salesforce integrations

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for small projects and gives the core building blocks, but it is still a capped starter offering rather than an uncapped plan. The cheapest paid plan is Team at $20 per user/month, so a free tier that covers the basics but leaves out the paid-scale features is worth about 40% of that, or roughly $8/month; a credit card is required to sign up.
