Claim this listing →In short
Airtable is a automation & ai platforms / no-code app builders for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹1,985/mo for a GST-registered business ($20/user/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for teams outgrowing spreadsheets, and a poor fit if teams with one large operational table, because the 50,000 record ceiling on Team arrives fast and the fix is a 45 dollar seat.
The trade-off, weighed
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- Read-only collaborators, form submissions and share links carry no charge on Team and Business, so stakeholders view data without buying a seat.
- The free plan allows 1,000 records per base and two weeks of revision history, enough to prove a workflow before spending anything.
- Team gives 50,000 records per base and 20 GB of attachments at 20 dollars a seat a month on annual billing.
The catch
- Crossing 50,000 records in a base forces the jump from Team to Business, a 125 percent per-seat increase to 45 dollars a month.
- Record limits apply per base rather than per workspace, so teams end up splitting data across bases just to stay under the cap.
- Everyone who edits needs a paid seat, so a workflow where twenty people make occasional one-line updates costs twenty full seats.
- Free plan revision history stops at two weeks, so an accidental deletion older than that is unrecoverable without paying for Team.
