Head to head
Airtable vs Cloud Campaign
Last updated 4 June 2026
Airtable isn't a social media scheduler. It's a flexible database that a lot of social teams use as their content calendar and planning hub, mapping campaigns, drafting copy, and routing approvals, then hand off to a real scheduler to actually publish.
- From
- $20 per editor / mo
- Free plan
Cloud Campaign is a white-label scheduler built specifically for agencies: a brand workspace per client, unlimited users, client portals, content recycling, and AI, with the whole thing rebrandable as your own. Plans run from $41 a month on annual billing, priced by workspace.
- From
- $41 /mo
- Free plan
Bottom line
Airtable is the pick for teams that want a custom content calendar and planning hub, and it's the only one of the two with a free plan. Cloud Campaign fits agencies managing social for many clients under their own brand better, and it reaches Facebook and Instagram among others, which Airtable doesn't.
Airtable starts cheaper, $20 per editor / mo against $41 a month for Cloud Campaign. They bill on different units, so the real gap depends on how much you run.

- 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.
