  • Airtable is a flexible database and spreadsheet platform priced per editor (seat), not a social media scheduler. Teams use it to build content calendars, plan and approve posts, and track campaigns.
  • It does not publish to social networks on its own. To actually post, you connect it to a scheduler or wire up automations through Make, Zapier, or scripts.
  • Per-editor billing is the main cost: Team is $20 and Business $45 per editor a month on annual billing; viewers, commenters, and form submitters are free. The Free plan allows up to 5 editors.
  • Add-ons include client portals (priced per guest) and extra AI credits.
  • Prices are USD, read off Airtable's pricing page. It's included here because many social teams plan in Airtable, not because it publishes.
