Airtable vs Notion
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
Airtablesite ↗pricing ↗
A spreadsheet-database hybrid: structured records with views and automations, used to run processes a spreadsheet outgrows. Paid plans start at $20/mo (Team); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $45/mo (Business). We read the same $20/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
Notionsite ↗pricing ↗
A workspace that combines documents, databases and wikis, used for everything from personal notes to company handbooks. Paid plans start at €9.5/mo (Plus); a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at €19.5/mo (Business). It bills by country — entry $10/mo to a US reader and $16.5/mo to a UK reader, from our same-day reads.
