Airtable pricing
Pricing score: 70/10Airtable charges per seat: Free, Team at $20/seat/mo and Business at $45/seat/mo billed annually, with Enterprise Scale on custom terms. Buyers misjudge who counts as a seat — anyone with edit rights on even one base in the workspace is billed, so casual editors quietly inflate the invoice.
Plans, list price, and your SaaSTweaks rate
| Plan | List price | SaaSTweaks deal | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Unlimited bases with real (if tight) working limits and Interface Designer included. Capped at 5 editors, so it genuinely supports a micro-team, not just one user.
| Free | — | Individuals and very small teams building their first internal apps |
| Team $20 per seat/month billed annually, or $24 billed monthly (a 20% premium). Every user with edit permissions on at least one base in the workspace is a paid seat; read-only collaborators are free.
| $20/month | — | Teams collaborating on shared workflows and lightweight apps |
| Business $45 per seat/month billed annually, or $54 billed monthly. Adds admin control and enterprise-style features without a sales conversation — though invoicing requires buying through sales.
| $45/month | — | Departments needing SSO, admin oversight and two-way sync |
| Enterprise Scale Custom pricing via sales. Built for org-wide governance: unlimited org units, workspaces and bases, with the deepest limits Airtable sells.

Hidden costs to watch for
- Every user with edit permissions on even one base in the workspace is billed as a full seat — only read-only collaborators, form submissions and share links are free
- Monthly billing costs 20% more: Team is $24/seat monthly versus $20 annually, Business $54 versus $45
- Record limits are per base, not per account: hitting 50,000 records on Team means restructuring your data or paying $45/seat for Business's 125,000
- Airtable AI beyond the included credits is a paid add-on — extra credit packs start at $120/month for 10,000 credits (packs of 10k-200k on Team and Business)
- Portals (external guest access) is a separate add-on starting at $120/month for 15 guests on Team and $150/month on Business ($127.50/month on annual Business billing)
- Payment by invoice is reserved for Business and Enterprise Scale bought through sales — self-serve plans are credit card only
Negotiation tips
Which tier is right for you?
Solo founder
→ Free
Unlimited bases, 1,000 records per base, Interface Designer and up to 5 editors cost nothing — most founders only outgrow it when automations (100 runs/month) or record counts start to pinch.
Small team (5-15)
→ Team
$20/seat/month annually buys 50,000 records per base, 25,000 automation runs and Gantt/timeline views; keep viewers on free read-only access and you pay only for people who actually build.
Scaling company
→ Business
SAML SSO, the admin panel, two-way sync and unlimited API calls arrive at $45/seat/month annually — and buying through sales adds invoicing and a path to negotiate before committing to Enterprise Scale.
FAQ
Yes — and it is generous for small use: unlimited bases, 1,000 records and 1GB of attachments per base, up to 5 editors and 50 commenters, 100 automation runs a month and Interface Designer included. It is the best no-cost way to learn Airtable properly.
Annual billing saves about 17%: Team is $20/seat/month annually versus $24 monthly, and Business is $45 versus $54. For a 10-person team on Business, annual billing keeps $1,080 a year in your pocket.
No public coupon codes exist. The documented savings are annual billing (about 17% off), free read-only seats for viewers, and special plans for nonprofits and education, which have their own application forms on the pricing page.
Anyone with edit permissions on at least one base in your workspace or organisation. Read-only collaborators, form submitters and people using share links are free, and charges are prorated for editors added mid-cycle. Reviewing permissions regularly is essential.
Nothing is deleted. Airtable notifies you of the overage and you keep full access to existing data — you simply cannot add records or attachments until you upgrade. Automations and API usage, by contrast, are hard-capped at your plan's limit.
Every plan includes monthly AI credits: 500 per editor on Free, 15,000 per paid user on Team, 20,000 on Business and 25,000 on Enterprise Scale. Need more? Credit packs start at $120/month for 10,000 credits on Team and Business; Enterprise Scale goes through sales.
Portals give external guests controlled access to your apps. Pricing starts at $120/month for 15 guests on Team and $150/month for 15 guests on Business ($127.50/month on annual Business billing), with larger guest packs of 25 up to 300+.
Only partially. Team workspaces (and self-serve Business) are credit card only. Business and Enterprise Scale accounts purchased through Airtable's sales team can be invoiced annually with payment via PO, ACH, wire or cheque.
