How to calculate your real Airtable cost in 3 steps
How much does Airtable actually cost?
Airtable's pricing page makes it look simple: $20 per seat.
But that only covers your internal team: the moment you add clients or contractors, Portals adds guest access in 15-seat packs at $8 each, and you're capped at one portal per base. 12 seats + one guest pack works out to $360/month, before you've built anything.
That's the number this calculator shows you upfront, using Airtable's own published pricing, so you can see the real monthly cost before you commit to a plan.

What actually drives your Airtable bill up?
Your plan tier isn't chosen directly — it's set by your largest base's record count. Cross 50,000 records on the Team plan and you have to upgrade the entire workspace to Business, which more than doubles your per-seat cost to $45/month (billed annually) — whether or not you need the extra features that come with it.
Noloco connects to your existing Airtable base — your data stays put — for one flat Build fee plus your existing seat, instead of stacking a second per-pack cost for every group of guests.

What can each setup actually do?
Cost is only half the picture — the two setups don't do the same thing.
If you only need to hand a handful of trusted teammates a read-only view, Portals can be enough. If you need per-person data filtering, your own branding, or more than one client-facing view off the same base, that's where Airtable + Noloco is built to go further — for less than half the monthly cost in most setups.

Airtable's pricing model
How much does Airtable Portals cost per guest?
+
-
Portal guests aren't priced individually, as they're sold in 15-seat packs at $8 each. If you only need 5 guests, you still pay for the full 15-seat pack.
Use the calculator above to see what that works out to for your actual guest count.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Airtable Portals?
+
-
Yes, connecting your existing Airtable base to Noloco is typically significantly cheaper than Airtable + Portals once you factor in guest packs and multiple portals, because you pay a flat build cost instead of a second per-pack fee for every group of external users.
Yes. Noloco reads and writes to your existing Airtable base: your data stays in Airtable, and Noloco builds the portal layer on top, so nothing about how your base works day-to-day has to change.
Does Noloco replace Airtable, or just add a front end?
+
-
It depends on how you're using Airtable. If your base is just where the data lives, Noloco can connect to it with two-way sync and add the interface, permissions, and portals on top — Airtable stays in the picture. But Noloco also has its own built-in database, Noloco Tables, so if you'd rather not maintain a separate Airtable base at all, you can move your data there instead and run everything from Noloco directly.
How many guest users does Airtable Portals include by default?
+
-
Airtable Portals doesn't include free guest seats by default, every guest is covered by a purchased 15-seat pack, and you're limited to one portal per base.
