Head to head
Airtable vs MavSocial
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.

- $20 per editor / mo
- Free plan
MavSocial pairs scheduling with unusually strong digital asset management, including a built-in stock photo library, plus a social inbox and approval workflows. The catch is the network list: it covers the big names but skips TikTok and Pinterest.

- $24 /mo
- Free plan
Bottom line
Airtable and MavSocial both cover the basics; the right one comes down to how you post. Airtable is the stronger pick for Teams that want a custom content calendar and planning hub; choose MavSocial for Teams that want strong digital asset management built into the scheduler.

- 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.
