### "The one program that I can't live without"

April 9, 2026

5.0

Overall it is one of the few programs that I tend to "nerd out" over. I am always thinking "this would be better in " when I am in a spreadsheet or another database. I have created Bases that run my business, create invoices, track my continuing education credits, budget, CRM's, organize my home, etc. If it can go in a spreadsheet, it can become so much more in an Airtable Base. It is the one piece of software that I don't even think twice about renewing. And now that they have integrated AI into its capabilities, I'm even more excited to try using it for other projects.

Pros

I love the flexibility of . You can design the relational database of your dreams with no programming skills necessary. It's easy to use and has terrific automations that can increase the power of your data.

Cons

There isn't much that I don't like. The one small thing that I can think of is that when you are adding records in a table view, it would be nice if hitting Enter would automatically start a new record instead of giving the popup saying to press Shift-Enter. It especially should not erase the record if you hit Enter a second time.

was far more flexible and customizable than Monday. It was also more intuitive for me to use.

### "Simple CRM perfect for small businesses"

June 2, 2026

5.0

Seamless, I have used for 4+ years for my small online business. It connects well to my APIs like Typeform too.

Pros

Ease of use, setup simply in minutes. helps me manage email lists, campaigns, projects, and research.

Cons

It took a little time to get used to the interface, how different tables are linked together, but I quickly got the hang of it.

### "Terrible account management and hidden charges - do not use"

July 30, 2025

1.0

Absolutely horrible - there is no amount of good tech that is worth dealing with this horrible account management. They do not care about customer service or their clients whatsoever.

Pros

The overall functionality of the tool achieves what we need it to do and the senior leadership likes the dashboard functionality

Cons

Horrific customer service. The worst I have ever seen. Tech team is only available via email and there is a clear language barrier causing issues in communicating programs and finding solutions. Account management is abhorrent. They are not proactive and actual blame the client for their lack of skilled account managers. When issues are escalated to senior leadership you are met with blame and rudeness. Financial processes are a mess. Late invoicing, demanding immediate payment. There is no functionality in place that prevents you from going over seats/licenses and this is by design - it allows to continually hit you with overage fees.

### "A Very Powerful Tool with Many Applications"

February 25, 2026

5.0

Overall I'm very satisfied with . My team and I all use it on a daily basis. It allows us to integrate all of our types of data and functions into one place, making it much more powerful. We also integrate Airtable with Zapier, Documint, and other platforms when needed.

Pros

We use for a huge variety of functions, like data management, project management, content management, CRM, and more. Airtable is extremely customizable.

Cons

I don't have many cons. Occasionally we bump into an advanced function that we would like to achieve that doesn't support. That said, there are usually ways to work around it and they are continually adding new features.

We used a variety of tools, none of which were easy to customize for our specific needs. allowed us to unite everything on one platform and create powerful applications without extensive coding knowledge.

### "Versatile and Powerful"

May 28, 2026

5.0

Overall, I don't think my organization could properly function without a beefy, yet agile tool like . My boss asked me if our CRM could fully replace it and it was a clear "no" from me.

Pros

Our team uses to manage dues, track event registrations, and serve as the first stop for member management information. What makes it so valuable is the balance between flexibility and structure as it handles heaps of data while still being approachable for everyday users. I especially appreciate how customizable it is. We’ve been able to shape it around the way our organization actually works instead of forcing our processes into rigid software. It gives us visibility across multiple moving parts without feeling overly technical. Whatever project you're managing, I'm sure you could make Airtable work for you.

Cons

The biggest caution I’d give is that works best when users are properly trained. I jumped in assuming it functions like Excel or Google Sheets, without realizing how interconnected the data and fields really are. I paid the price by losing important data after I deleted info from one view not understanding it deletes it from every view in that sheet.

### "Beautiful, Flexible UI Held Back by Limited Schema Export"

April 14, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with has been very positive, and it has become one of my favorite tools to work in every day. It hits a great balance between spreadsheet simplicity and database power, with a UI that makes complex data feel approachable and lets me build useful tools for my team without heavy development work.

Pros

What I like most about is the user experience: the interface feels modern, clean, and very visual, so it’s easy to understand even for non‑technical users. I love how you can switch between different views (grid, calendar, gallery, kanban) and build simple interfaces on top of your data, which makes everyday work feel smooth and actually enjoyable.

Cons

The main disappointment for me is that focuses on exporting and importing data, but not really on exporting or importing the structure of a base. There’s no simple, native way to move a full schema (tables, fields, relationships) between workspaces or to back it up, so you often end up recreating the structure by hand or relying on scripts and workarounds.

### "Thanks to you Airtable! "

April 6, 2026

5.0

This is amazing tool especially in task management because it provides an easy to use which is why I loved most of using this tool it really helped me in my everyday task.

Pros

I love using because of the task management that the tools has. All files are being stored in a safest way possible and also the email notifications does his work which is why I used it frequently.

Cons

I think what I didn't like about is that the tools will sometimes doesn't work due to technical issues and I think it is understandble on their end.

May 19, 2026

4.0

Pros

It's pretty easy to use and get started. Actually, quite powerful as well. It's also very versatile.

Cons

It can be a little bit confusing and a little bit daunting to get started. Is it a spreadsheet? Is it a database? How do I work it?

### "Airtable - the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the structured capabilities of a database"

December 19, 2024

5.0

overall helped our business grow exponentially not just because of its applications but it gave us the perspective about what database can do for a business and how simple it can be if we keep that way. we used it for our app database as well, and it just worked fine bit slow but good for beta version.

Pros

What I love most: The intuitive interface makes it easy to customize views (grid, calendar, kanban, form) and build relationships between different tables. The automation features are a game-changer, saving me countless hours on repetitive tasks. Who would benefit: Anyone looking for a more dynamic and collaborative way to manage data. It's perfect for teams of all sizes and across various industries.

Cons

One of the least best things about is its pricing. While there is a free plan, it has limitations on the number of records and storage space. The paid plans can become expensive, especially for larger teams or those with extensive data needs. AI plans are also overpriced.

March 4, 2025

4.0

Overall, it's been a great experience. My favorite aspect is you can embed a file such as an image file in one of the "cells"

Pros

It's like an enhanced version of excel, but much more intuitive and not relying on formulas.

Cons

The nomenclature can sometimes be confusing.

### "Versatile database for property and client management."

October 13, 2025

5.0

Listings, client data, and follow-ups were kept at the forefront and up-to-date, project collaboration was improved with clear deadlines, and agents were able to rapidly re-prioritize and transfer, losing fewer opportunities and gaining greater client satisfaction.

Pros

Spreadsheet-like workspace keeps listings, contacts, deals, and follow-ups organized with detailed calendar and kanban views; real-time collaboration allows agents and assistants to see tasks, deals, and updates across unrelated properties and partner teams.

Cons

Advanced relational and reporting capabilities need precise configuration, and multi-user, high-volume implementations can bog down at scale or require additional permission management for secure deal tracking.

### "Highly customizable management software with a learning curve "

March 6, 2026

4.0

Pros

is incredibly customizable. It can be used for a variety of tasks, from project management, contact libraries, inventory tracking, grant-tracking, to-do lists, comms planning, etc. It is really a jack-of-all-trades product.

Cons

There is a steep user-curve with . The more tech-savvy members of my team love it, but others have disliked it, even just navigating an already-created Airtable. You have to set aside dedicated time to bring people on board to use Airtable, even as viewers. Some people may find it too complicated to learn to create their own tables.

### "Airtable Review"

December 7, 2025

5.0

I have a streamlined system to collect information for people wanting to get a free software consultation with me.

Pros

updates in real-time and therefore I can see my team's progress when we collaborate. It enables me to add to a spreadsheet for handling better each entry.

Cons

It is free but several functionalities are on the pro plan. The downside is when I need to pay. pricing is a double-edged sword, it has many useful functionalities and at the same time it is costing a hand and a leg.

### "Great hybrid between spreadsheet and database."

July 8, 2025

4.0

This has helped me to replace messy Excel sheets, to have tables that are easier to filter and share to everyone. I created a mini product database that the marketing team actually uses.

Pros

is spreadsheet familiar but packs light weight database functionality What I like even more is adding linked records between product specs and supplier profiles, this is zero-cost in terms of visual and gives structure to your product data.

Cons

For anything more complex, it leaves much to be desired, and having multiple large bases hits the limits of the free plan very quickly.
