Airtable pricing per user
Airtable charges per seat, per workspace. The price per seat depends on the plan and the billing cycle. Which people count as seats depends on their permission level, and the rule differs between plans.
This guide shows the prices from Airtable's pricing page and help center on October 19, 2026, who you pay for, and what teams of 3 to 20 pay. Live data is on the Airtable pricing page on SaaS Price Watch.
Airtable price per user, by plan
Prices are per billable collaborator, per month.
| Plan | Annual billing | Monthly billing |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 |
| Team | $20 | $24 |
| Business | $45 | $54 |
| Enterprise Scale | Custom quote | Custom quote |
Monthly billing costs $4 more per seat on Team and $9 more on Business. Over a year, that is $48 per Team seat and $108 per Business seat.
The help center says Business and Enterprise Scale need a private email domain. Gmail and Yahoo addresses can't upgrade to those plans.
Who counts as a paid seat
Airtable's pricing FAQ says that on Team and Business, you pay for "all users who have edit permissions for at least one base in the workspace." Read-only collaborators, form submissions, and share links are free.
The help center plans page gives a finer rule:
- Team: billable roles include Owners, Creators, Editors, and Commenters. Read-only is free.
- Business: billable roles are Owners, Creators, and Editors. Read-only and Commenters are free.
The two pages differ on commenters for Team. Check your workspace billing page before you add commenters on Team.
Two more rules from the help center:
- Billing is per workspace. Self-serve plans attach to a workspace, not an account. You can have one paid workspace and keep others on Free.
- Charges are prorated. A collaborator added partway through the month is billed for the days after they joined.
What the Free plan allows
The help center lists these Free plan limits:
- 1,000 records per base
- 1,000 API calls per workspace per month
- 1 GB of attachments per base
- 2 weeks of revision history
- Up to 5 Editors or Creators, up to 50 Commenters, and unlimited read-only users
A new account's first workspace gets a 14-day Team trial. After that, it drops to Free unless you upgrade.
What a team pays on Airtable
Monthly cost, with every collaborator billable:
| Seats | Team annual | Team monthly | Business annual | Business monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | $60 | $72 | $135 | $162 |
| 5 | $100 | $120 | $225 | $270 |
| 10 | $200 | $240 | $450 | $540 |
| 20 | $400 | $480 | $900 | $1,080 |
For a year, 5 seats on Team cost $1,200 on annual billing and $1,440 on monthly. On Business, 5 seats cost $2,700 a year on annual billing and $3,240 on monthly.
Why Airtable can feel expensive
- Commenters can cost a seat on Team. On Business they are free. Set people who look but do not edit to read-only.
- Each paid workspace bills its own collaborators. Keep a team in one workspace where you can.
- The record cap drives upgrades. Team allows 50,000 records per base, and Business allows 125,000, per the help center. A growing base can force a plan change before your headcount does.
Team vs Business
The help center lists these Business extras over Team: two-way sync, an admin panel, unlimited API calls, 100 GB of attachments per base, and 150 automations per base. Team includes 100,000 API calls a month, 20 GB per base, and 100 automations per base.
Pick Business when you need sync between bases or central admin. Most small teams fit on Team.
