How much does Airtable cost in 2026?

Airtable Pricing Plans (as of March 2026)

Airtable uses a per-seat pricing model where costs scale with team size and feature requirements. The platform restructured its pricing in 2024, removing the former Plus tier and introducing the current four-plan lineup. All paid plans require annual billing for the listed prices; monthly billing is approximately 20% more expensive.

Records-per-Base Limits Explained

Airtable's most impactful pricing constraint is the records-per-base limit. Each "base" (Airtable's term for a database) has a hard cap on total records across all tables within that base:

• Free (1,000 records): Sufficient for personal projects, simple inventories, or prototyping. Most teams outgrow this within weeks.
• Team (50,000 records): Adequate for small-to-medium business operations — CRM tracking, project management, content calendars.
• Business (125,000 records): Suitable for mid-market teams with moderate data volumes. Includes sync across bases, which helps distribute records.
• Enterprise Scale (500,000 records): Required for organizations managing large datasets, product catalogs, or customer databases.

Records that exceed the base limit are not deleted but cannot be added until records are removed or the plan is upgraded.

Feature Comparison

Automation Run Limits

Airtable Automations execute triggered workflows (e.g., send an email when a record is created). Run limits are per workspace per month:

• Free: 100 runs/month
• Team: 25,000 runs/month
• Business: 100,000 runs/month
• Enterprise Scale: 500,000 runs/month

Exceeding the limit pauses all automations until the next billing cycle or until the workspace is upgraded.

Interface Designer and Extensions

Airtable's Interface Designer (custom app-like views built on top of bases) is available on all plans, but the number of interfaces varies. Free plans support up to 1 interface; Team supports up to 3; Business and Enterprise support unlimited interfaces. Extensions (formerly "apps" — charting, pivot tables, Gantt views) require Team or above.

Airtable vs Competitors (as of March 2026)

Editor's Note: We helped an 8-person e-commerce operations team evaluate Airtable Team vs Business in late 2025. They had 42,000 product records in a single base and were approaching the 50,000 Team limit. Rather than upgrading to Business ($45/seat, $360/month for 8 seats vs $160/month on Team), we restructured their bases — splitting product data into two bases by category and using Airtable Sync to keep shared fields updated. This saved $200/month but added ~30 minutes of weekly maintenance. For teams above 40,000 records, budgeting for Business from the start avoids this complexity.

Bottom Line

Airtable's pricing is competitive for small teams but escalates quickly as headcount and data volume grow. The Free tier is useful for evaluation only. Team is the best value for groups of 3-10 users with moderate data needs. Business is necessary for organizations requiring cross-base sync and advanced admin controls. Enterprise Scale pricing is negotiated individually and typically starts above $65/seat/month for organizations with 50+ seats.
