Bottom line
Airtable is the pick for teams that want a custom content calendar and planning hub. Robopost fits publishers automating RSS and blog distribution better, and it reaches Instagram and X (Twitter) among others, which Airtable doesn't.
Airtable has a free plan and paid plans from $20 per billable collaborator a month, billed yearly, and Robopost has a free plan and paid plans from $9 a month. They bill on different units, so the real gap depends on how much you run.
