Airtable Pricing History (2024โ€“2026)

Airtable has steadily tightened free plan limits while raising paid plan prices. Here's the complete record:

Free plan record limit cut by 17% February 2026
Airtable reduced the free plan record limit from 1,200 to 1,000 per base. This affected teams using Airtable for CRM, content calendars, and project tracking who were building up record counts over time. Existing bases over the new limit were read-only until records were deleted or the account was upgraded.
Free records/base:1,200โ†’1,000
Team plan renamed and repriced from Plus Q3 2025
Airtable replaced its "Plus" plan ($10/editor/mo) with the new "Team" plan at $20/editor/mo โ€” a 100% price increase. The Team plan included expanded automations, 50K records (up from 5K on Plus), and Airtable AI features. Existing Plus subscribers were migrated to Team pricing at their next renewal.
Entry paid tier:Plus โ€” $10/editor/moโ†’Team โ€” $20/editor/mo
Records included:5,000/baseโ†’50,000/base
Free automation runs reduced Q1 2025
Airtable reduced the number of automation runs included in the free plan from 100/month to 50/month. Teams using Airtable automations for simple notifications, record updates, or integrations were impacted.
Free automations/month:100โ†’50
Airtable AI bundled into Team and above Q1 2025
Airtable launched AI field types (AI-generated text, AI classification) and bundled them into Team and Business plans. This preceded the plan restructure and price increase, establishing that AI features justify the higher cost.
AI fields:Not availableโ†’Included in Team+

What Airtable's Pricing Changes Mean for Competitors

Airtable's 100% entry-tier price increase (from $10 to $20/editor) eliminated its position as the "affordable spreadsheet database." NocoDB (open source), Notion databases, and Google Sheets are seeing increased interest from teams priced out of Airtable.

For companies selling database or CRM tools in the SMB space, Q3 2025 created a window: Airtable customers on Plus who renewed to Team at double the price were very receptive to switching conversations. The teams that ran targeted campaigns within 2 weeks of the plan change saw measurable upticks in trial signups.

The February 2026 record limit cut created another smaller window โ€” teams with growing databases who hit the new 1,000-record limit were suddenly forced to evaluate alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many records can you store in Airtable for free?

As of February 2026, the Airtable free plan allows 1,000 records per base (reduced from 1,200). You can have multiple bases, each with up to 1,000 records. There's no hard limit on the number of bases on the free plan, though storage is limited to 1GB total.

Is Airtable Team worth $20/editor/month?

It depends on your use case. If you need more than 1,000 records per base, automations, or sharing with external collaborators, the 50K record limit and expanded automation runs make Team ($20/editor/mo) a significant functional upgrade. However, for teams primarily needing a database with basic views, alternatives like Notion databases ($10/user/mo) or NocoDB (open source) may be more cost-effective.

Does Airtable charge for read-only users?

No. Commenters and read-only viewers are free on all Airtable plans. You only pay for editor seats โ€” users who can create, edit, and delete records. This makes Airtable cost-effective for teams where only a few people actively manage data while many need to view it.

What happened to Airtable Plus plan?

Airtable discontinued the Plus plan ($10/editor/mo) in Q3 2025, replacing it with the Team plan at $20/editor/mo. Existing Plus subscribers were automatically migrated to Team pricing at their next billing renewal. There was no grandfathering at the old Plus rate.

How does Airtable compare to Notion for database use cases?

Airtable Team ($20/editor) vs Notion Business ($18/member) is a close comparison. Airtable has more robust relational database features, formulas, and automation. Notion combines database functionality with document editing in one tool. If your primary use case is structured data management, Airtable is typically stronger. For knowledge management that happens to include databases, Notion is often a better fit.
