How to use Airtable
Model data as linked tables and expose it through interfaces and apps. Use the conversational builder to create apps and agents and to run research, and deploy agents and AI automations to process records at scale. Building with the AI builder is free of credits, and only running AI consumes them.
Best for
Building relational databases and custom apps without code. Multiple views like grid, kanban, and calendar. AI through a conversational app builder, agents for at-scale tasks, and AI automations.
How it behaves
As of 2026 the per-seat AI add-on is gone, and each plan bundles a shared pool of AI credits. Building apps and agents is free of credits, while executing AI burns them, with extra packs sold separately.
Tips
Model your data as linked tables first. Building apps with AI is free, only running AI burns credits. Buy extra credit packs if you process records at scale.
Pricing
Free tier. Team is $20 per user and Business is $45 per user a month, each with a pooled AI credit allowance, and extra credits start around $20 for 10,000.
