For companies and businesses at the smaller end of the scale looking for a cloud-based project management solution, we think Airtable is a great option. It’s mostly geared toward data organization and some collaborative tools. To do this, it uses a recognizable spreadsheet format where data can be linked together, for instance inventory items to vendors.
Depending on the plan, there are different prices for Airtable. However, it’s free for 1000 records/base or starts at $20/user/month for 50,000 records/base. For access across multiple devices and operating systems, Airtable is a great solution as we found it’s fully compatible. We liked that the mobile interface simply scales the spreadsheets down to tappable cards for easy access and reading. A key benefit for us in Airtable is the way it can be integrated with other services. Additionally, all tables are sharable, allowing users to track who and what changes have been made. A unique chat tool within documents allows for increased collaboration for efficient task completion rates.
