Flexible database-spreadsheet hybrid for organising work, tracking projects and running automations.
What it does
Practical capability.
Airtable is a flexible database-spreadsheet hybrid that lets you organise, relate and act on information in a structured way. Unlike a flat spreadsheet, it supports linked tables, multiple views — grid, calendar, kanban, gallery, timeline — and automations that trigger actions when data changes.
It suits founders, operations teams and content or marketing teams who need something more structured than a spreadsheet but more accessible than a proper database. A free plan covers basic use for small teams; paid plans add more records, automations, extended revision history and advanced features including AI field tools.
The real strength of Airtable is how it scales with your needs: a broad ecosystem of extensions and integrations means you can add capability without migrating to a new system. It rewards teams who take a little time to design the schema well upfront.

- Large extension and integration ecosystem

- Free plan limits on records and automations
