Entry price	$24/mo	$39/mo
Annual discount	−17%	−18%
Free plan	Yes	Yes
Number of tiers	4	4
Positioning	Spreadsheet-database hybrid, valued $11B private. Positioned as the alternative to Excel + Access + Notion for teams building custom workflow apps without engineering. Distinctive for its "database that looks like a spreadsheet" positioning that made no-code databases accessible to non-technical users. Free tier is functional; paid tiers add automation, API access, and larger record limits. Pricing has increased steadily since 2022 as Airtable pivots toward enterprise use cases.	Session replay + heatmap analytics acquired by Contentsquare in 2021 for $500M. Positioned as the alternative to FullStory and Microsoft Clarity (free) for product and marketing teams. Distinctive for its combined qualitative + quantitative approach — heatmaps, recordings, feedback polls, surveys in one platform. Priced $32-$171/mo across four tiers. Real cost bloat comes from session capacity — high-traffic sites hit overages fast.
