Broker Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Airtable" 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 Airtable. 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. Switched from [monday AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Airtable was far more flexible and customizable than Monday. It was also more intuitive for me to use. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Director, Evaluation Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful Data Platform" January 20, 2026 5.0 Pros I have become an Airtable evangelist after my organization had adopted the platform as our source of truth. As a relational database, it allows organizations to store large amounts of dynamic data in organized, reliable ways. The fact that it can be used as a no- or low-code tool makes it easily adoptable. And, with the right architecture, automations, and even scripts, it can become a powerful collaboration and project management platform. Cons The Airtable team keeps growing its features, but there is still room for growth in the types of data and visualizations that can be seen in interfaces. More complex form features, like matrices and advanced conditional logic, could help it replace other survey tools at my organization. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) My organization needed a more reliable way to manage our data.

Business Development Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why I Recommend Airtable for Real-time PPM" October 6, 2026 5.0 Pros Airtable is among the project portfolio management systems that I use in my current organization. I appreciate how it centralizes task management, project collaboration and built-in AI fields + assistants. Cons Thanks for asking, but Airtable accomplishes all my project portfolio management needs without experiencing bugs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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 Airtable to continually hit you with overage fees. Review Source MK Matthew K. Research and development chemist and technical engineer Chemicals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Centralizing Lab Worflows: Utilizing Airtable as a Relational Chemical Database" July 25, 2026 5.0 The overall experience with Airtable has been a great one, overall I would say its saved me countless hours of sifting through data and having all of our data in "one" base is a lot more effective, just from a readability point of view, but also from an automation point of view. Pros I've used Airtable for analytical chemistry, quality control testing and R&D formulation work- each requiring completely different outputs, yet all benefiting from consolidation of disparate lab results into one centralized hub. What i like most is before airtable we just worked with excel and all of our data was all over the place! With airtable we now have integrated applications for sample logging, test results, calbiration, maintence etc etc. The longer i've used the product I keep thinking to myself, why didnt we use this sooner? Cons I think the learning curve for people coming from different applications can be quite steep, especially for people that have little or no knowledge to do with database systems such as sql and so forth. I would say to get the setup going you need someone with the technical know how to get you going, if you do not have this at your company, i think standard people would struggle. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Our Excel data management was getting out of hand, airtable simplified everything for us into one space.

LX and Technology Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Still the best & most robust" July 24, 2026 5.0 Pros Still the most robust project management software/service. It can integrate to everything you need or as little as you want. Cons It has a relatively steep learning curve if you haven't used it before, especially if you haven't used any other PM SAAS before. Alternatives considered [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/)[Smartsheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/79104/Smartsheet/) Reason for choosing Airtable Robustness and integrations with other platforms Switched from [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Needed something more robust and Airtable was recommended to us.

Administrative Aide Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Airtable does it all" June 25, 2026 5.0 I use it for everything in my company -- from organizing our very large annual conference, to running several seminars, to publishing books and journals, to managing our contacts. Pros It allows me to organize and manipulate my data without having to learn how to code or speak app-specific language Cons The cost. I wish there was a different pricing model for small non-profits, instead of the customary per-user subscription Switched from [Microsoft Access](https://www.capterra.com/p/233275/Microsoft-Access/) Airtable is much more user-friendly and agile Review Source RV Ramesh V. Founder and CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Works just how I imagined it to be" August 23, 2026 5.0 We were forced to create our own tool outside of Airtable for signature collection which was a pain, however Airtable sends triggers for it without crashing. Gladly I do not waste 15 hours per week anymore correcting data entry mistakes in spreadsheets. Pros The dashboards have eliminated all the "update" requests I get constantly from my boss throughout the day. I did think that building the custom API for the PDF signings would be something that would totally crash the whole system but they worked perfectly. Good customer service and easy task management. Cons When trying to edit simple items (like font color) on individual records I am unable to make those changes. One of these limitations specifically, the font colors limitiation is probably one of the most frustrating aspects of the UI is how dated it appears and also getting through the permissions configurations with multiple tables and sub-tables took me many days. However, the documentation provided by Airtable on nested data seems basically useless. Review Source LM Lilyana M. Planning and Sustainability Professional Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "my Airtable" October 12, 2026 5.0 Pros I like being able to customize tables and create views according to my needs. Personally, I find it easier to visualize my work when information is organized clearly in one place, especially when several tasks need attention. Cons Setting up more advanced databases can take time, and some features may be difficult for new users to understand. Certain capabilities also depend on the subscription plan. Review Source DL Denis L. Customer Service Reo Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "airtableden" September 13, 2026 4.0 overall experience is very positive, great tool that bridges the gap between spreadsheets and databases. Pros It looks like a spreadsheet but offers much more powerful data organization and linking capabilities making it very easy for someone who is inexperienced. Cons Costs can rise quickly once your team grows and need more records, automations and advanced features. Review Source CF Cassandra F. Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Airtable. My boss asked me if our CRM could fully replace it and it was a clear "no" from me. Pros Our team uses Airtable 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 Airtable 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. Review Source RS Rex S. Quality Assurance Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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 Airtable 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 Airtable is that the tools will sometimes doesn't work due to technical issues and I think it is understandble on their end. Review Source KS Keith S. Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We use Airtable frequently" April 22, 2026 5.0 This has prevented our team from losing links in everyone’s messy inbox. Although, there may be better ways to design the interface and feel at times like it is a little cumbersome, this program does bring some semblance of order to our chaotic processes. Pros I enjoyed the switch to be able to flip back and forth between grid view and gallery view on the swap button, so my older guys could see how they would go with it in a practice setting. I was impressed with how well the AI tool build off of my initial prompt and created a proper starting point for me, it also looked fairly good. Cons The mobile app next to it is slow when many records are there in the loading. Automation Scripting, too many technical terms things normal people could never learn for themselves. Review Source Connor M. Account Executive Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Platform to Keep Deals Organized" January 14, 2026 5.0 Overall the platforms ease of use and functionality make it one of the best out there. Great integrations to make for seamless correlation. Pros I love airtable because they are able to keep deals organized in a way that not many can. We use it for a specific section of deals that is managed by its own teams and it makes communication seamless. Cons Airtable really does have any huge disadvantages. I wish there were more notification from the platform but that may just be something we haven't figured out yet. Review Source CO Charles O.

Building robust editorial calendars, content tracking, and publishing. Cons Onboarding teams and getting them used to using a new tool. Folks breaking filters, coding, and views. Review Source KG Katherine G. Development Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly customizable management software with a learning curve " March 6, 2026 4.0 Pros Airtable 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 Airtable. 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. Review Source LL Lydia L. Lydia Lee Photo Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A flexible database to catalog my creative work" August 6, 2026 4.0 Pros Airtable turned out really useful to organize my portfolio and my client projects as a visual database.

Cons Getting started takes some time to adapt, especially to set up more complex bases with multiple tables linked between each other. Review Source DO Darlington O. Senior Associate Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Powerful And Intuitive Platform " June 24, 2025 5.0 Airtable is a seamless platform to build your business needs. The data tab gives you full scope access to a relational database, in a familiar spreadsheet like interface to start with. Pros I like it because it is a no-code app. I love the real-time collaborations. It is easy to update everyone in real-time. I am able to build excellent apps and use them for integrations. Cons Exporting data can be cumbersome and not intuitive. The mobile app needs some love, as it takes a lot of taps to get to the data/tables you use most often — let me favorite tables! And most of all, the inability to merge fields is a huge blind spot. Review Source RG Rob G. Ceo Wholesale Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great choice " January 18, 2026 5.0 Pros Very fast implementation time to existing workflows. Zero training needed, intuitive and easy for staff to use out of the gate Cons Would love to see more templates of example use cases. Im sure it's more powerful than were even using today. Review Source AH Andrew H. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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 Airtable 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. Airtable pricing is a double-edged sword, it has many useful functionalities and at the same time it is costing a hand and a leg.

Pros I like that you can build your database from scratch, kinda like Excel but with more options to setup automations. Cons I do find it’s getting more and more complicated, like linking databases is harder now, and some things are just not that simple to use anymore. Review Source SB Sabre B.
