Airtable record limits per base
Free: 1,000 records per base. Team: 50,000. Business: 125,000. Enterprise Scale: 500,000. A single table can use the whole base limit, but not more. When a base reaches its limit you can still use it and Airtable keeps your data, but you cannot add records or attachments until you upgrade.
Who Airtable bills as a seat
Airtable charges per seat, and plans are attached to a workspace, not to an account. Which collaborators count depends on the plan. Collaborators with edit permissions added partway through a billing period are prorated.
| Plan | Billed as a seat | Free of charge |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Nobody | Everyone, within the limits below |
| Team | Owners, Creators, Editors and Commenters (workspace or base level) | Read-only collaborators, form submissions, share links |
| Business (self-serve) | Owners, Creators and Editors | Read-only collaborators and Commenters, form submissions, share links |
So on Team, someone who only leaves comments costs a full seat. Business and Enterprise Scale also require a private email domain: Gmail, Yahoo and similar addresses cannot upgrade.
Airtable free plan limits
Your first workspace starts with a 14-day Team trial, then drops to Free unless you pay. The Free plan includes:
- 1,000 records per base
- 5 collaborators with Editor or Creator permissions, 50 with Commenter permissions, unlimited read-only
- 1,000 API calls per workspace per month
- 100 automation runs per workspace per month, 75 automations per base
- 1 GB of attachments per base
- 2 weeks of revision and snapshot history
- 500 AI credits per editor per month
- No extensions, no record coloring, no calendar date ranges; forms keep Airtable branding

API calls per month
- Free: 1,000 per workspace per month
- Team: 100,000 per workspace per month
- Business: Unlimited
When a workspace reaches its automation or API limit, Airtable caps usage at the plan limit (pricing page FAQ).
AI credits
Every plan includes monthly AI credits, pooled across the workspace (Free and Team) or organization (Business and Enterprise Scale). Viewers get no allocation of their own. Field agents, AI automations and document analysis consume credits; Airtable's own example puts a 10-page contract analysis at about 200 credits.
| Plan | Included each month |
|---|---|
| Free | 500 per user with Editor permission or above |
| Team | 15,000 per billable collaborator |
| Business | 20,000 per paid user |
| Enterprise Scale | 25,000 per paid user |
Free workspaces have to upgrade to get more. Team and self-serve Business can buy packs:
| Extra credits per month | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $20 / month | $200 / year |
| 50,000 | $100 / month | $1,000 / year |
| 100,000 | $200 / month | $2,000 / year |
| 400,000 | $800 / month | $8,000 / year |
In Rowflare, AI fields use your own key with Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible service, or Workers AI on Cloudflare, so model calls are billed by that provider at its own rates and there are no credits.
How Airtable pricing adds up
- Monthly billing costs 20% more than annual on both Team ($24 vs $20) and Business ($54 vs $45).
- Seats multiply with every editor, and on Team with every commenter, so the bill tracks headcount rather than usage.
- SAML single sign-on starts on Business.
- AI beyond the included credits is a separate monthly charge.
