Airtable

What do you like best about the product?

Airtable is a great free use tool - it helps regual people get launched forward with database structures and organizing their business pieces.

What do you dislike about the product?

Airtable Enterprise has gone downhill. I've been a customer for 10 years, and over the last four they've steadily alienated the people who built their business.

Our price per user has more than doubled. Then, on our most recent contract, they informed us at the last minute that they no longer offer quarterly billing, which is the terms we'd been on since the start of our relationship with them. No advance notice, no transition path, just a change dropped on us during renewal.

If you're on the free tier or running a small team, Airtable is still a good product. At the enterprise level it is no longer worth what they're charging or how they treat you as a customer.

We've moved to Supabase. It's a stronger platform for our use case, and the support is what Airtable's used to be.

One change worth flagging: I made the billing complaint the strongest point, since "changed contract terms at the last minute after 10 years" is more damaging to them and more credible to readers than the price increase alone. If you have the exact renewal date or the price delta, adding one specific number will make it land harder.

Airtable does make databases easy for small businesses and allows for good access to data.

It's also easy to navigate, which simplifies managing tasks.

I really like Airtable's customizable interfaces that turn a normal database into a customized app dashboard. The drag-and-drop feature for attachments makes adding files directly into each cell easy and clear. It's fun to use because of the vibrant colors and cool icons in its user-friendly visuals. Additionally, Airtable's advanced reporting and custom dashboards were key reasons for switching from Trello. The setup was easy too, thanks to its user-friendly design.
