AITable vs SeaTable (2026): which should you pick?

Pick AITable if

• Fits if you are moving from spreadsheets to a database with kanban and gantt views
• Works for teams that want unlimited seats at a fixed monthly price

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: 2 seats and 100 records per datasheet
• Tight if you pick Starter: 2 seats, 10,000 records per datasheet
• Watch out: the pricing page doesn't say whether prices are monthly or annual
• Watch out: downgrading or unsubscribing is done by contacting support

Pick SeaTable if

• Fits if you want an Airtable-style database with your data hosted in the EU
• Works for teams that must self-host, with Active Directory, LDAP or SAML sign-in

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want an iPhone app, as one is planned with no release date, and the Android app only opens SeaTable Cloud
• Not for you if you want prices in dollars, because they're listed in euros and exclude VAT
• Tight if a self-hosted team will grow mid-year, since the 10 and 25 user licences can't be extended during their term
• Too light for free teams that need private views, row locking or table, view and column permissions
• Watch out: Free gets a fixed 100 automations and 12.5 AI credits a month, and SSO needs Enterprise at €14

AITable

• Free and Starter cover only 2 seats; unlimited seats start at Plus.
• The pricing page does not say whether the displayed figures are monthly or annual billing.
• The FAQ says AI feature pricing is in a testing phase and may change.
• Downgrading or unsubscribing is done by contacting support.

SeaTable

• Prices are listed in euros and exclude VAT; the pricing page shows no US dollar prices.
• The Free plan stops at 10,000 rows and 2 GB, and lacks private views, row locking and table, view and column permissions.
• SeaTable's help center lists an Android app, which only simplifies access to SeaTable Cloud, and says an iOS app is planned without a release date.
• Server licenses for 10 and 25 users cannot be extended during their term; needing more users means buying a new license.

AITable

Multiple views

Grid data can be shown as gallery, kanban, architecture, gantt and calendar views, with limits on gantt and calendar views by plan.

Forms and dashboards

Forms collect records and dashboards with widgets summarize them; counts rise with each plan.

Automation and app connections

The homepage says it connects to 6,000+ apps through Zapier, Make, Pabbly and Activepieces.

AI agents and message credits

An AI chatbot that uses message credits: a default-model query costs 1 credit and a GPT-4 response costs 20, per the pricing FAQ.

API

The pricing table lists API request and rate limits and a contacts API.

SeaTable

Bases, tables and 26 column types

Bases hold linked tables with 26 column types, plus filtering, sorting, grouping and row color highlighting. Private views and the sharing of single views need a paid plan.

Gallery, kanban, timeline and calendar

Besides the table editor, the same data can be shown as an image gallery, a kanban board with drag and drop, a timeline or a calendar.

App Builder

A drag-and-drop builder for data-driven apps such as a CRM or a project tracker, included on every plan. Public apps can be used without a user account; page permissions need Enterprise.

Automations and scripts

Automations run a process at a set time or status, and notifications fire on defined triggers. JavaScript runs are unlimited, while Python runs, automations and AI credits have monthly quotas.

Web forms and external links

Web forms collect entries from people without an account, and external links open a base to people who have no login. Adding a logo and header image to a form needs Enterprise.

Self-hosting with SeaTable Server

The server edition installs on a Linux server or virtual machine and supports SAML, OAuth, Shibboleth, Active Directory and LDAP sign-in, custom roles and self-set API limits.
