Airtable Alternatives

Best for: Docs, wikis, projects, and lightweight databases

Notion is a broad AI workspace for notes, docs, wikis, projects, databases, and lightweight team systems. It is not as database-first as Airtable, but it is highly relevant when users want documentation and structured project tracking in the same workspace.

Pricing: Notion offers free, Plus, Business, and Enterprise plans; AI and advanced controls vary by plan.

Best for: Collaborative spreadsheets and lightweight trackers

Google Sheets is a practical Airtable alternative for teams that mainly need collaborative spreadsheets, formulas, sharing, charts, and familiar Google Workspace workflows. It is easier to adopt than a database builder, but it lacks Airtable-style relational app building, interface design, and database-specific workflow controls.

Pricing: Free with a Google account; paid business features are part of Google Workspace plans.

Best for: Advanced personal task management

OmniFocus is not a direct Airtable replacement, but it can be useful for individuals and Apple-focused teams comparing Airtable because they primarily need structured task capture, perspectives, planning, and personal productivity rather than shared relational databases or no-code apps.

Pricing: Offers a 14-day trial, one-time OmniFocus 4 purchases, subscription options, and a web add-on.

Best for: Flexible project and task management

Zenkit fits users who want flexible project and task management views rather than a pure database tool. It can cover boards, lists, project structures, and team workflows, making it relevant when Airtable is being used mainly as a planning and work-tracking system.

Pricing: Has a free entry point and recurring paid subscriptions charged per member.

Best for: No-code databases, forms, and portals

QuintaDB is closer to Airtable’s database-builder side than to its project-management side. It is designed for building databases, forms, CRMs, portals, websites, and business systems without heavy development work, so it may fit teams that want structured web apps around operational data.

Pricing: Official pricing presents a free tier and paid monthly capacity plans rather than simple per-user billing.

Best for: Visual project management and team tasks

Ora is better compared with Airtable when the Airtable base is being used as a task board, sprint board, issue tracker, or project hub. It includes project management, team collaboration, chat, timelines, time tracking, reports, and mobile/desktop access, but it is not a relational database platform.

Pricing: Official pricing states a free plan for up to 10 team members and paid plans with a 30-day trial.

Best for: Custom business apps and databases

Claris FileMaker Pro is a more mature custom-app platform for teams that need stronger desktop database tooling, scripted workflows, local or hosted deployments, and business applications beyond Airtable’s spreadsheet-like interface. It can be powerful, but it usually requires more setup and database design discipline.

Pricing: Claris offers individual FileMaker Pro licenses plus cloud and self-hosted platform licensing.

Best for: Project, portfolio, and work management

Smartsheet is a strong Airtable comparison point for teams that want spreadsheet-like work management with project plans, Gantt, calendar, board views, forms, reports, dashboards, automation, and enterprise administration. It is usually more project-portfolio focused than Airtable.

Pricing: Official pricing lists paid member plans, free contributors on some plans, and enterprise options.

Best for: Low-code business app development

Zoho Creator is a low-code app builder for teams that want custom business applications, forms, workflows, data views, portals, and mobile deployment. It is a closer alternative when Airtable is being stretched into internal app development rather than simple tables.

Pricing: Zoho Creator has a limited free plan, paid per-user plans, and a free trial on paid tiers.

Best for: Personal and small-business databases

Memento Database is useful for people who need customizable personal or small-business databases for inventory, collections, research, CRM, and structured records. It can be simpler than Airtable for mobile data capture, but platform coverage and team governance should be checked carefully.

Pricing: Official pricing presents a per-user monthly plan; app-store availability may include free app access.

Best for: Hosted NoSQL database backend with REST API

restdb.io is a developer-friendly online database backend rather than a general team workspace. It can replace Airtable for projects that mainly need a hosted NoSQL database, generated REST API, media storage, authentication, and simple admin UI behind websites or custom apps.

Pricing: Official pricing includes a free development database and paid plans priced per database.

Best for: Table-based information management

Matrify is a web tool for managing information in tables, including projects, to-do lists, contacts, inventory, sales, and customers. It may appeal to users who want table-based organization with fewer moving parts than Airtable, but current activity and feature depth should be reviewed manually.

Pricing: Official site includes pricing and quote links; verify current plan availability before publishing exact costs.

Best for: Needs review; current product is tour software

The historic Fieldbook spreadsheet-database product is no longer available; its own shutdown post said the service would stop working in June 2018. The current fieldbook.com appears to be tour management software, so this item should not be treated as a current Airtable alternative without manual correction.

Pricing: Current Fieldbook site is a different tour-management product; do not reuse old database-app pricing.

Best for: No-code business database builder

Ragic is a no-code database builder with a spreadsheet-like interface for building business systems, forms, reports, and internal databases. It is a legitimate Airtable comparison for teams that want structured operational apps and more database-oriented customization.

Pricing: Official pricing includes free, cloud, on-premise, and enterprise options; verify the right region and plan.

Best for: Unverified visual CRM or project board

Cercle appears to be a historic or poorly sourced listing for a visual CRM/project board tool. I could not confidently verify an active official product site that matches the existing description. This item should be reviewed before publishing as an Airtable alternative.

Pricing: No current official pricing source was confidently verified.

Best for: Simple online databases

Obvibase is a simple online database for users who want a spreadsheet-like way to create and edit structured tables without a full app-building suite. It is more focused and lightweight than Airtable, so it may fit basic shared databases but not complex automations or interfaces.

Pricing: Official pricing includes a free Basic plan and paid tiers with larger limits.

Best for: Open-source no-code database and app builder

Baserow is an open-source no-code database and application builder that is especially relevant for Airtable users who want cloud or self-hosted deployment, API-first workflows, relational tables, forms, and more control over data infrastructure.

Pricing: Cloud and self-hosted paid plans are available; core open-source self-hosting is available separately.

Best for: Airtable-like interface over existing databases

NocoDB turns existing databases into spreadsheet-like collaborative interfaces and offers cloud and self-hosted options. It is relevant for technical teams that want Airtable-style views while keeping data in PostgreSQL, MySQL, or other database infrastructure.

Pricing: Cloud pricing uses an editor-seat model with a billing cap; a self-hosted fair-code version is available at no cost.

Best for: Docs, tables, and app-like team workflows

Coda combines documents, tables, buttons, automations, and app-like workflows in one collaborative workspace. It is a useful Airtable alternative when teams want structured tables embedded inside living documents rather than a database-first interface.

Pricing: Coda uses maker-based billing on paid plans, with free editors and viewers according to its pricing materials.

Best for: Spreadsheet-database workspace with API connectors

Stackby combines spreadsheet-style tables, relational databases, API connectors, automations, AI fields, and team workspaces. It is relevant for teams that like Airtable’s table experience but want built-in API connector workflows and a different pricing model.

Pricing: Official pricing includes a free plan, annual discounts, and paid team plans; verify current limits.

Best for: Spreadsheet-database platform with self-hosting

SeaTable is a spreadsheet-database and no-code platform with cloud and self-hosted deployment options. It is worth considering for teams that want Airtable-like bases, forms, automations, APIs, and stronger data-sovereignty choices.

Pricing: Official pricing lists cloud plans and on-premises/server options, with paid tiers from user-based pricing.

Best for: Relational spreadsheet with self-hosted option

Grist blends spreadsheet usability with relational database structure, Python-powered formulas, access rules, forms, and API support. It is attractive for analytical or technical teams that want more spreadsheet power and optional self-hosting.

Pricing: Hosted plans are available; the Community edition can be self-hosted for free, with paid full/enterprise editions.

Best for: Connected work management and operations workflows

SmartSuite is a work management platform for building connected workflows, project systems, operations trackers, dashboards, automations, and reporting. It is relevant for Airtable users who want a more packaged operations and work-management environment.

Pricing: Official help lists free and paid plans with user minimums, record limits, automation limits, and enterprise options.
