How to choose a Airtable alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Work out whether your bill rises with people who can edit, the amount of data you keep, or usage limits. Airtable charges by paid users and plan capacity, including records, attachments and automations. Compare your paid seats and current limits before judging a different setup.
- 2
Where your records live
Check where your working records live and what you can take out. Airtable documents CSV exports of grid views, but an export does not recreate your existing application, and attachment files need separate downloads. Ask whether the alternative keeps your records in a database you own.
- 3
Fit with your own rules
List the fields, checks and review steps your business relies on. The free version manages custom fields, dependencies and review routines. If your processes need more, Enterprise DNA builds a custom version around how your business works and the requirements you agree.

What switching involves
Check what must move and how it will be checked. Each exported grid view brings across its visible field values, so export without filters to include every record. Download attachment files separately. Relationships and calculations need mapping, and record counts should be checked before switching.
The option that fits
A version built around your business
If your records and review steps follow your own rules, a standard plan may not fit as well as a version built for your business. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how you work, brings your Airtable data across into a database you own, and runs it for you. The commercial model is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. You can also try the free version and run it yourself.

Questions
Airtable alternatives, answered
How much does Airtable cost for a business team? expand_more
Airtable’s Team plan lists US$20 per user per month billed annually, while Business lists US$45 per user per month billed annually. Business is US$540 a year for each paid user. Read-only collaborators are free, but record, attachment and automation limits can affect which plan you need.
Can we bring our Airtable records across? expand_more
Each exported grid view brings across its visible field values. Export without filters to include every record, and download attachment files separately because the export contains temporary references. Relationships and calculations need mapping, and record counts should be checked. Exported values alone do not recreate your existing application.
Will an alternative support our fields and workflows? expand_more
The free version manages records, custom fields, dependencies and review routines. It does not recreate your existing application from exported values alone. Enterprise DNA can build agreed needs such as shared editing screens, forms, mobile access or connected automations into your custom version.
Do we have to manage the replacement ourselves? expand_more
No. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business works, brings your Airtable data across and runs it for you for one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you want to do it yourself, the free version is available.
