Relational app platform turned agent builder: Omni configures agents from plain language and Field Agents run autonomously inside every record, with enterprise governance, audit logs and model choice.

Airtable is a relational database and app building platform that has repositioned around agents. Its agent surface has two named parts. Omni is a conversational builder that takes a plain language description and configures the tables, interfaces and agents to match. Field Agents are agents attached to fields that perform work inside every record of an app at scale: analysing documents, searching the web, generating and editing images, translating content and extracting insights from transcripts. Field Agents can be set to run continuously whenever data is added or updated rather than being manually invoked, which is what separates them from an assistant sitting beside the data.

The platform layer is what makes the grid score well. Airtable ships enterprise audit logs through both an admin panel and a dedicated Audit Logs API with documented event types, role based access control, SSO with SAML, MFA, SCIM provisioning, enterprise key management and an admin panel report for AI credit consumption. Enterprise customers choose which models are enabled across OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, with an Amazon Bedrock option under which model providers never handle customer data. Airtable states that model providers do not retain customer data and that customer data is not used for model training.

The honest limits are deployment and oversight. Airtable is cloud only, with EU data residency and tenant level key management available but no self hosted, VPC or on premise option, and it is not FedRAMP authorised. HIPAA support exists but is gated behind an Enterprise Scale plan, a signed health information exhibit and specific configuration. Agent oversight is governed at the boundary, through admin control of where AI is enabled and what data agents can reach, rather than through a documented approval gate on individual agent actions.

In practice

A marketing team points Field Agents at a table of campaign briefs so that every new row is automatically turned into on brand concepts and localised copy variants without anyone opening the record.

An operations team drops thousands of contracts into a base and agents extract structured terms into fields, converting static documents into live operational data other teams can query.

A revenue team runs web search agents continuously against an account table so competitor and news intel refreshes itself in the background rather than in a weekly manual sweep.

Pricing

20 USD per user per month, billed annually

seats plus AI credits

Free tierTrial available

Included quota

Seat price covers platform use. AI credits are allocated by plan and each Field Agent run consumes credits. Business plan admins see credit usage in workspace settings; Enterprise Scale admins see it in the admin panel Reports page.

What is public

Exact list prices for Free, Team at 20 USD and Business at 45 USD per user per month billed annually are stated on the pricing FAQ. Enterprise Scale is custom and requires contacting sales.

Billing mechanics

Charged per seat, counting only users with edit permissions on at least one base in the workspace. Read only collaborators, form submissions and share links are free. Charges are prorated for users added mid cycle. Team and self serve Business are card billed; Business and Enterprise Scale bought through sales can be invoiced annually via PO, ACH, wire or cheque.

Cost watchouts

Agent economics are decoupled from seat count: a small team running agents across a large base can consume credits far faster than its seat spend implies. HIPAA workloads require Enterprise Scale plus a signed health information exhibit, so regulated use forces the custom priced tier regardless of team size. EU data residency and enterprise key management are enterprise features.

Variable cost rationale

The per seat list price is public and exact, and only users with edit permissions are billed, so the seat line is predictable. The variable component is AI credits, which every Field Agent run consumes. Because Field Agents are designed to run continuously across every record, credit burn scales with data volume rather than headcount, which is the part of the bill hardest to forecast at purchase.

Additional watchouts

The headline seat price does not include agent execution. Treat AI credits as a separate line and confirm the allocation before sizing an agent heavy deployment.

Overage / add-ons

Record and attachment overages block further additions until upgrade but data is never removed. Automation and API usage is capped at the plan limit rather than billed as overage.

Sales call required

Mixed (some tiers require a call)

Free / trial

Free plan available for individuals and very small teams

Lowest paid plan

Team

Commercial notes

Enterprise Scale adds unlimited org units, workspaces and bases. Special plans exist for nonprofits and education. Customers on the legacy Enterprise plan keep their features until renewal.

Key ambiguities

Published AI credit allocations per plan and the per run credit cost of a Field Agent were not retrieved in this pass, so the usage half of the bill cannot be modelled from public pages alone.

Missing data

Per plan AI credit allocations and per run Field Agent credit costs.
