AITable is a visual database with kanban and gantt views, automation and AI agents, and its higher plans have unlimited seats. The free plan stops at 2 seats and 100 records per datasheet, and the page doesn't say if its prices are monthly or annual. AI pricing is described as in testing. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $18 a month for 2 seats; unlimited seats start at Plus, $39 a month. For 5 people that's about $7.80 each, though billing basis isn't shown. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free plan: 2 seats, 20 file nodes, 100 records per datasheet. You'll hit that. - **Features: C.** Views, forms, dashboards, automation, an API and AI agents. The FAQ says AI pricing is in testing and may change. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You build the database yourself. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with Zapier, Make, Pabbly and Activepieces, plus an API. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 28 of the 42 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. It costs $216 a year. - You could make: Kanban boards: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Zapier, Make, Pabbly, Activepieces **Tags:** Databases, No-code, Workflow automation, AI features, Kanban boards, Public API ## Alternatives - [Baserow](https://toolgpa.com/tools/baserow): Open-source no-code database and application builder.
