Organizer's Dream Come True
What do you like best about the product?
I like the automation and visibility that Airtable provides for my team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there is more flexibility with filtering/sorting capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable gives me visibility of what the rest of the team is working on and project status.
Great for managing recipes, ingredients, and costs in a small food business
What do you like best about the product?
It’s super intuitive and easy to use—even without any tech background. I’ve been able to build a clean, flexible system to manage everything from ingredients to recipes, all in one place. It’s like a smarter spreadsheet that actually makes sense for real operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get a little expensive if you’re a small business needing more records or advanced features. Would be great if there were more pricing options for solo founders or small teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Airtable to manage all the data for my food manufacturing business. It helps me keep track of every ingredient, recipe, cost per batch, and even supplier details. I can monitor quality and stay on top of production costs, which is essential for staying profitable and consistent. It’s made running the backend of my bakery so much smoother and more professional—without needing a developer or custom software.
Great tool for no-coders to store data easily, organize, and even build simple internal apps
What do you like best about the product?
It’s super easy to use—even if you don’t come from a tech or database background. I love how I can structure data the way I want, link things together, and then view it in different ways like kanban, calendar, gallery, etc. It’s helped me stay way more organized across different projects, and the ability to share with teammates or collaborators is really smooth. Also, turning a base into a mini internal tool with interfaces is such a cool bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing can feel a bit high, especially if you need access to more advanced features or higher record limits. Still worth it for the time it saves me, but I do wish the plans were a bit more flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m building a no-code two-sided platform using Softr and Airtable, and Airtable basically acts as the brain of the whole thing. I don’t have a tech background, but I’m able to store and manage all the data—users, listings, workflows—without needing to understand traditional databases or write any code. It’s made the whole process so much more accessible and has saved me from hiring a developer just to set up a backend.
Transforming Team Collaboration with Airtable
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable is its perfect blend of spreadsheet simplicity with database power. The intuitive interface, customizable views, and seamless integrations make it incredibly versatile for managing everything from simple task lists to complex project workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Airtable is that its advanced features—like syncing, automations, and higher storage—are locked behind pricey plans. It can also become overwhelming to manage as data complexity grows, especially without proper structure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable helps me organize and centralize scattered data, replacing multiple tools like spreadsheets, project trackers, and forms. It streamlines collaboration and improves workflow visibility, saving time and reducing errors in daily operations.
From disparate lists to interconnected insights, Airtable finally clicks
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Airtable is that it has incredible graphics in dealing with diverse content. We store a massive collection of course information which consists of video clips lesson outlines quiz banks and image resources. Airtable can hold all these different variety of files automatically with the results that have the same records and then present them cohesively in gallery or calendar forms. It implies that we do not experience the need to tie external folders to rows of spreadsheets anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other times the initial configuration of certain automation chains feels less natural than I would prefer. Even simple workflows require a certain time to understand the exact logic required to perform more complex workflows without prior experience in similar tools. Along the same lines we can also be a little clunky to generate a truly custom print ready report directly off our base. We tend to take the data and then out them on a different program where we finally format it and then print it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our greatest challenge was organizing all our digital asset and their progression in all our hundreds of online modules before Airtable. The files were all over the place on different cloud drives, email attachments and among the desktops of individual team members. Given that we began working with Airtable we have one unified platform on each of our contents. We save so much time on seeking the right version of a video or a lesson plan to apply and utilize it instead in the development and improvement of our education programs.
Powerful, Flexible, and Surprisingly Easy to Scale
What do you like best about the product?
Its flexibility and structure.
Airtable gives you the best of both worlds: the familiarity of a spreadsheet with the power of a relational database. I can link subs to jobs, roll up how many jobs they’ve filled, and filter or sort based on nearly any criteria — without writing code. The ability to automate workflows (like sending job claim confirmations or alerting admins) adds real efficiency, and the Interfaces tool makes it feel like a custom-built dashboard tailored for my school.
Plus, being able to customize field types, control visibility, and align the look with Brownell Talbot’s branding gives it a professional polish that you don’t get with a plain spreadsheet.

What do you dislike about the product?
Limited design customization and pricing limitations.
While Airtable is powerful, it can feel visually rigid — especially if you're trying to make it match a specific brand or website aesthetic. Interface Designer has come a long way, but it still lacks font customization, finer layout control, and public-facing design polish (without third-party tools like Softr).
Also, some of the most useful features (automations, Interfaces, advanced filtering) are capped on the free plan, which makes it hard to scale without upgrading — even if you're just one person building something small but high-functioning.

Airtable has allowed me to build a substitute portal for my substitute teacher roster at my school.
Flexible and User-Friendly Platform That Adapts to Any Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable is how easy it is to customize and build workflows without needing technical skills. It combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a database, making it perfect for project tracking, content planning, and collaboration. The interface is intuitive, drag and drop friendly, and supports views like Grid, Kanban, Calendar, and Gantt so each team can work the way they prefer.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Airtable is powerful, some of the more advanced features like syncing between bases or custom scripting are locked behind higher tier plans. Also, when bases grow very large, performance can slow down a bit. But for most use cases especially for small and mid-sized teams, these aren’t major issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable solves the problem of disorganized workflows and scattered data across tools. Instead of using separate spreadsheets, task trackers, and note apps, we now manage everything from campaigns to internal operations in one place. It improves team alignment, reduces duplication of work, and allows us to easily share structured data in a visually clear and editable format.
Finally seeing how all the project pieces connect easily thanks to Airtable links
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Airtable is definitely its incredible flexibility combined with the database structure – it's way more powerful than a spreadsheet. You can create custom field types like checkboxes, attachments, linked records, and dates, which makes organizing any kind of information super visual and practical. I also love the different views; being able to instantly switch from a grid view to a calendar, Kanban board, or gallery view for the same data set is a game-changer for project management and content planning. Linking records between tables means everything is connected, like linking client contacts to all their projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Airtable is that the cost can escalate quite a bit as you add more users or need features from higher tiers, making it pricey for smaller teams or individuals needing more than the basics. For simple list-making, it can sometimes feel like overkill and maybe a bit complicated initially if you just need a quick note or checklist. While powerful, getting into the nuances of automations or complex formulas has a steeper learning curve than I'd like sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable is fantastic at solving the problem of scattered, disconnected information living in separate spreadsheets, docs, and emails. Before Airtable, I’d have one sheet for tasks, another for contacts, a document for project details, and emails for feedback – managing everything felt like juggling. Now, Airtable brings all that related information into one dynamic, connected system. It benefits me by giving a single source of truth, allowing me to see dependencies, track progress across different projects easily, and significantly reduces manual updates and the risk of things falling through the cracks.
Excel on steroids with amazing developer experience
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to use a database easily by both technical and non technical people. It has helped tremendously to communicate ideas clearly between me and my non technical colleagues to understand data and visualize it easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is an amazing tool for MVPs, quick iteration over products or easy communication between tech and non-tech people but for me as we go for advanced use cases i would prefer other advanced solutions instead of Airtable
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Airtable's ease of use, integration and being able to be edited both visually and programmatically allowing both technical and non-technical people to use it has been the major advantage in using it.
2. As startup people, it helped us in focusing more on our idea rather than implementation. Because of it's excel like structure, it's extremely easy for us to iterate and test ideas quickly.
3. For vibe coding Airtable is the best database one can use, not only the docs are easy to understand but almost every LLM out there has great knowledge about it resulting in very smooth experience while building apps using vibe coding.

What do you dislike about the product?
Advanced users might find the automation and integration features less flexible compared to dedicated workflow automation platforms, especially for highly complex or conditional logic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Airtable has provided a centralized, flexible workspace for managing projects, tracking assets, and organizing information that previously lived in scattered spreadsheets, emails, or siloed tools. The ability to link related data across tables has replaced the need for manual cross-referencing and reduced errors from duplicated information.
