LandTable vs. Airtable
The category-defining no-code database, now firmly enterprise-priced.
The short answer
If your team already runs smoothly in Airtable and the current pricing or limits are acceptable, staying put is usually the lowest-friction path. But if you're reviewing alternatives because of cost growth, control, security requirements, or workflow limits, LandTable is built to be the practical switch.
You keep the database workflows teams expect — views, formulas, permissions, automations and forms — while gaining a platform designed for predictable scaling and modern collaboration patterns.
About Airtable
Airtable popularised the spreadsheet-meets-database category and remains the polished default. Its automations, interfaces and AI features are deep, but seat pricing climbs quickly past the free tier and there's no workspace-level encryption you control.
Airtable strengths
- Mature ecosystem of templates, extensions and integrations
- Polished Interfaces builder for app-like front-ends
- Deep automations marketplace and AI add-ons
Where teams hit limits
- Per-seat pricing scales aggressively — Pro is $24/user/mo
- Data is held in Airtable's US infrastructure with no encryption-at-rest you control
- Branded forms and advanced automations gated behind higher tiers
Why teams switch from Airtable
Cost that scales with your team
LandTable is built for teams that want to grow usage without seeing costs rise linearly with every seat. This keeps budgeting predictable as adoption increases across departments.
Control and security posture
Teams moving from spreadsheet-first tools often need stronger operational controls, clearer data ownership, and a platform that can fit stricter internal security requirements.
Built for operational workflows
LandTable focuses on day-to-day operational use cases: structured data, multi-view collaboration, automations, and workflows that need to stay reliable as record volume grows.
Which one should you pick?
You're a mid-sized US-based team with budget for $24+/user/month and want the largest template gallery in the category.
You want predictable workspace pricing and workspace-level AES-256 encryption — without giving up grid, kanban, calendar, gallery, automations or forms.
