Which is cheaper for you?
Decision matrix based on verified June 2026 pricing. Assumes per-seat/monthly billing unless noted.
Google Sheets is completely free for individuals with 15GB Drive storage. Airtable Free is also free, but Google Sheets is more familiar and fully functional for most solo use cases.
Airtable Team at $20/seat includes automations, relational fields, and multiple views. Google Workspace at $6/user is a general suite -- great value, but Sheets isn't a dedicated database.
Workspace Business Standard at $12/user is dramatically cheaper than Airtable Business at $45/seat for a 25-person team. For teams that mainly need spreadsheets, Google Sheets wins on cost.
Airtable Enterprise provides fine-grained permissions, native automations, and structured data that Sheets can't match. For ops teams building internal systems, Airtable is a proper database -- Sheets is a spreadsheet.
Airtable API is structured and queryable like a database. The Sheets API is a spreadsheet API -- harder to build real applications on top of. Airtable wins for developer-built internal tools.
Google Sheets wins on price and familiarity. Airtable wins for teams that need relational databases, automations, and structured views.
