FAQ
You have questions, we have answers.
Project management is one of the most popular ways that teams use Airtable, but it’s far from the only way. Teams in diverse business functions like Marketing, Product, and Operations use Airtable to build apps and power connected workflows for all kinds of use cases.
For smaller teams, Airtable's Teams plan is a good fit. Larger enterprises can scale up to our Business or Enterprise Scale plans. See our pricing page for full details.
When it comes to project management software, Airtable and Smartsheet are built on fundamentally different architectures. As the name implies, Smartsheet stores data in isolated spreadsheets. This causes data to fall out of sync and complex formulas to break, while Airtable has 25+ field types to structure and connect any type of business data like marketing content, creative assets, product roadmap, and customer feedback. You can transpose your data across a handful of views—including Gantt charts, timeline views, Kanban boards, and more.
AI is infused into Airtable for continuous scalability–going far beyond Smartsheet’s AI. When it comes to data management, Smartsheet caps at 20K rows per sheet, while Airtable can manage 12.5x more at 250K records per table. When it comes to platform growth, Smartsheet’s ownership transition raises questions about whether they’ll spend on product innovation vs. cost cutting.
If you’ve used spreadsheets, Smartsheet will look familiar. It pairs the aesthetic of Excel, then layers on collaboration tools like commenting, review approval, and automated workflows. Airtable, on the other hand, empowers anyone to adapt the platform to their needs. So rather than forcing your workflow and processes to fit rigid tools, you can shape Airtable into the perfect solution for your team.
