UI is a spreadsheet, not sure how else we would have built a table. You'll continue to see our differentiation, like for the fact we're API first, automation focused tool.

Hi Steve, there are no arbitrary limits. If there's anything in particular you're confused about, please let us know - I'll get the wordings changed immediately.

For us $5 plan is a personal plan for single user or solopreneur.

For teams it starts with $9/user/month.

Both plans are for workspaces.

Hope this helps.

We have not copied the UI. We've been used a spreadsheet style interface as the base, which is existing even before Airtable started (read Excel).

For us, the biggest differentiator is that we're API first, we're giving users a no-code way to connect columns to APIs and bring information right inside the tables and refresh/automate in real-time.

I particularly struggled in my last corporate job, juggling through spreadsheets and manually copying/pasting data from different tools in my spreadsheet where I could easily do it automatically via APIs. But again, it would require technical knowledge to do it.

We're making it easy for non-technical users to access those APIs in a no-code way and build powerful tools for their lives and work.

You will see we'll continue to differentiate both on UI and functionality as we move forward.

Correct! Same for us as well.

We do keep everything. That's only revision history per row

We don't charge for read-only users or users who will fill the forms. So it looks you for job tracking, people who will fill the forms and do those activities like you mentioned, will not get charged.

Only your internal team with 'Editor' permissions will be counted as a paid-user.

Hi Charles - in Stackby. There's API column type automation, not automation like Zapier built-in yet.

We'll change that, sorry didn't realize. Customer support wants to be noticed, it seems

Yes correct, it's only revision history

1 year of data is basically activity history on each row, not the row data itself. We don't delete any information that you add in tables.

Along with being a powerful yet easy to use spreadsheet-database platform, what differentiates us is the fact that we’re API first - the ability to connect columns to popular third party services to pull information directly in your tables and refresh/automate cells to bring real-time information. Without any coding, in a few clicks

Over 40+ no-code API connectors with popular services like YouTube, Google Analytics, Facebook Ads and others.
