Best for spreadsheet-database with views, forms and automations
Retable is an online spreadsheet-database with eight views, forms, automations and a public API. It has no free plan, only a 14-day trial of the Team plan at $12 per user a month. Team limits are 50,000 records a project and 10 automations, and an older table on the pricing page still mentions Free, Basic and Pro tiers.

Keep Retable, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Retable you would be making a spreadsheet engine with its formulas. 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: 36 of the 63 other spreadsheet and database tools grade higher. It costs $144 a year.
What you could make
- Forms and kanban boards: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A spreadsheet engine with its formulas.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Retable’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Retable?
Retable is a browser-based spreadsheet and database tool. Tables can be shown as grid, list, kanban, card, chart, calendar, map or form views, and a spreadsheet can be turned into a public form. It offers a 14-day trial of its paid Team plan, an Airtable import path, a public API and a built-in ChatGPT column type.
Worth knowing
- The pricing page lists only a 14-day trial and the Team plan; an older comparison table on the same page still mentions Free, Basic and Pro tiers.
- Team plan limits: 50,000 records per project and 10 automations with 1,000 runs per project a month.
- Extra automation runs, storage, upload size and URL password protection are sold as add-ons from $2.49 a month.
- Runs in the browser only; the site also offers a Chrome extension but lists no desktop or mobile apps.
Key features
- Eight data views

- Online forms
- Forms are generated from a spreadsheet, with customizable fields, and responses appear in the table as they arrive.
- Automations and webhooks
- Built-in automations and webhooks connect Retable to other apps. Webhook usage counts toward the plan's automation limits.
- ChatGPT column type
- A column type calls ChatGPT to enrich data, and the model can be switched from within Retable.
- Teams, roles and branding
- Organizations can manage teams, set roles and grant personal or team access. Team plan accounts can apply custom branding.
