Airtable

Relational bases

Data lives in bases of linked tables. Record limits per base rise from 1,000 on Free to 50,000 on Team and 125,000 on Business.

Eight view types

A table can be shown as a grid, form, calendar, gallery, kanban, timeline, list or Gantt view. Timeline and Gantt views need the Team plan.

Interfaces

Custom interfaces can be built from base data, giving each team a tailored app on top of the same records.

Automations and sync

Automations handle repetitive steps inside a base. Two-way sync with outside tools is included from the Business plan.

Omni and field agents

Omni builds apps from a plain-language description and field agents run AI across records. Both draw on monthly AI credits: 500 per editor on Free and 15,000 per seat on Team.

Portals

Portals let guest users from outside the organization collaborate on selected data.

Teable

Grid, form, kanban, gallery and calendar

Records are edited in a spreadsheet-like grid or shown as kanban cards, an image gallery or a calendar. Form views collect submissions and save each one as a new record.

Linked records and formulas

Link-to-record, lookup and rollup fields connect tables and summarize related records, and formula fields calculate from other fields. A button field starts an automation from a record.

AI fields and AI chat

AI fields turn record data into summaries, tags, scores, translations or extracted values. The Cuppy chat sidebar analyzes the current table, view, selected records or files in plain language.

App Builder

Turns Teable data into apps, dashboards, portals and custom interfaces from a chat prompt. The Business plan adds a custom app domain and GitHub sync for the app's code.

Automations

Workflows start from record changes, form submissions, schedules, webhooks, button clicks or incoming email, and can run scripts, call HTTP APIs and send email. Monthly runs are capped by plan.

Connect and migrate

The AI chat can import data from Airtable, Baserow, NocoDB, SmartSuite and Smartsheet, and project data from Jira, Asana, monday.com or ClickUp, keeping fields and relationships.
