Airtable pricing explained

A free plan for up to five editors, two paid steps per seat, and an Enterprise Scale tier priced on request.

Airtable is a relational database with a spreadsheet face, and its pricing turns on two things: how many editor seats you have and how many records each base holds. Free covers up to five editors but caps a base at 1,000 records; Team at $20 lifts that to 50,000 records and adds Gantt and timeline views; Business at $45 raises it to 125,000 records and adds SSO and admin controls; and Enterprise Scale is quote based for the largest, governed deployments. Because Airtable bills only editors, read only and form users are free. Below are the plans as of June 2026, then a plain look at what moves the cost.

What moves the real bill

What actually moves your bill

Airtable's per seat rate is only half the story. The record cap on each base and the editor only billing model shape the real cost as much as the headline price, and the jump from Team to Business is the one to plan for.

Editor seats, not viewers. Airtable bills per editor seat. People who only view, comment or submit forms do not need a paid seat, so teams can keep costs down by giving full editor access only to those who build and change data, while everyone else collaborates for free.
Records per base drive upgrades. Each plan caps records per base: 1,000 on Free, 50,000 on Team and 125,000 on Business. Many teams upgrade because they hit the record ceiling rather than for features, so estimate how large your busiest base will grow before you pick a tier.
The step from Team to Business. Team at $20 suits most workflows, but Business at $45 more than doubles the per seat rate to add SSO, admin controls, the larger record cap and 100,000 automation runs. Plan that jump around security and scale needs, not convenience.
Annual versus monthly and automation runs. The rates shown are annual; monthly billing runs higher, at roughly $24 for Team and $54 for Business. Heavy automation users should also watch the run limits, since busy workflows can push you toward a higher tier.
Pricing questions

Airtable pricing FAQ

Is Airtable free?

Airtable has a free plan for up to five editors with unlimited bases, but each base is capped at 1,000 records and 100 automation runs a month. It is enough to trial the tool or run a small project, but the record cap moves most growing teams to Team.

How much is Airtable per seat?

As of June 2026, Team is $20 per seat per month and Business is $45 per seat per month, both billed annually. Monthly billing is higher, at about $24 and $54, and Enterprise Scale is quote based. Check the vendor for current pricing.

What counts as a billable seat in Airtable?

Airtable bills only editors, meaning people who can create or change data in a base. Read only collaborators, commenters and form submitters do not need a paid seat, which can keep costs well below the headline per seat rate for larger groups.

What is the difference between Team and Business?

Team lifts the record cap to 50,000 per base and adds Gantt and timeline views and 25,000 automation runs. Business raises records to 125,000, adds SAML SSO, an admin panel, verified data, two way sync and 100,000 automation runs, and suits larger teams that need security and scale.
