What people moving from Asana tell us about
- The free plan went from 10 people to 2 for new accounts in November 2025, and existing free accounts were told in October 2026.
- Seats come in tiers, so adding a sixth person can mean paying for ten.
- Tables and formulas start at the Advanced plan.
Tables for people and AI agents
- No record limit on any plan, and the same price in our cloud in Germany or on your own server.
- Grid, kanban, calendar, gallery, timeline, forms and dashboards, and interfaces for people who should see one page and nothing else.
- AI chat that changes records as the person asking, and AI agents whose changes wait for review.
- An append-only audit log of every change, a 30-day trash, and an export of any table at any time.
- Airtable’s API at the same paths, Zapier, Make and n8n apps, and webhooks.
