For teams that need more, Airtable's Plus plan costs $10 per seat per month (billed annually), and allows up to 5,000 records per base and 5GB of attachments per base.
Next up, the Pro plan costs $20 per seat per month (billed annually), and includes everything in the Plus plan, plus 50,000 records per base, 20GB of attachment space per base, and access to more advanced apps and automations.
The big-daddy of Airtable plans is the Enterprise plan, which requires custom pricing and speaking to Airtable's sales reps. This plan has the highest base size limits (100K records per base and 1,000GB of attachments per base), plus access to all the most advanced features, priority support, and professional services to help you get the most from Airtable.
