AITable vs Teable (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 Teable if

• Fits if you want an Airtable-style database you can host on your own servers
• Works for pulling structured fields out of receipts, contracts and resumes with AI fields

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying on the free cloud plan, which stops at 1,000 rows and 200 one-time AI credits
• Pricey if you pay monthly, at $24 a seat against $13 billed yearly
• Skip it if you hoped to self-host for free with automations, as those and the AI need a paid licence
• Watch out: a self-hosted licence is pre-paid and can't be changed, downgraded or refunded once issued
• Watch out: every Owner, Creator and Editor is a paid seat, and there are no phone or desktop apps

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.
