Frequently asked questions
Is Airtable or Monday.com better for creative teams?
Airtable covers more of the workflow out of the box (4 of the 8 capabilities we track fully included, vs 3), but the right pick depends on which capabilities your team actually uses. The comparison table above shows exactly where they differ.
How much do Airtable and Monday.com cost?
Airtable's Free plan is capped at 1,000 records per base, 1GB attachments per base, and just 5 editor seats; paid plans start at Team ($20/seat/mo billed annually, $24 monthly) for 50,000 records and 20GB, with Business at $45/seat/mo annually and Enterprise Scale at custom pricing. Monday.com's free plan caps you at 2 seats, 3 boards, and 3 docs; paid plans start at Basic $9/seat/mo (annual, $10 monthly), Standard $12, and Pro $19 — but every paid plan carries a 3-seat minimum and sells seats in multiples of 5 above that, so the real floor is ~$27/mo on Basic even for a solo user, and AI runs on a metered credit budget (1,000/2,000/3,000 credits per month by tier).
