The idea is great, but the price its still way too expensive. It's just not feasible to scale it like this. It would be nice to have an option to pay per active user. We have around 100 clients, but most of them aren't very tech-savvy, and only a few are likely to use the portal. We can't predict who exactly, and we definitely can't afford $840/month (100 users ÷ 15 = 6.66 x $120). It's a pity because we're willing to pay more for a portal, but this pricing model doesn’t work for us. I’m curious which type of company this pricing is actually suited for. The only use case I can think of is using it internally within the company, but that would require each employee to register with a different email address, not the company’s domain email. Its actually a bit frustrating
Airtable has been pushing hard for Enterprise customers and a lot of current product innovation is catered in that direction. The target here will be Fortune 500 company's marketing department interacting with 3-5 external agencies . It is very pricey for Small and Medium Business, also not attainable for businesses that might have 2-4 k of users. There is still a way to use Airtable interfaces and invite clients as "Read Only" viewers , which is free. The users cannot edit content - but they can click on embedded links that can contain for example Fillout forms to edit records. That is a fairy affordable workaround. Side effect - does not look to professional.
@@Zoltronic. They pivoted hard towards enterprise about 1-2 ago and that is clearly visible in profile of features being released. What are you moving on to?
As usual greedy, greedy AirTable. Trying to justify a truly ridiculous valuation they continue to attempt to be an Enterprise tool when Enterprise buyers just laugh at the suggestion. Simultaneously they piss off their existing customer base and the one they aim to play in
Yes it does seem like a move catered to Enterprise needs. They have been pushing the Enterprise direction really really hard. Any insight why that is not doing well?

I'm probably just switching from airtable entirely because of how greedy they are with pricing for interfaces - it's highway robbery

how do I get to the UK to work helps me.
yes UK needs help with a lot of work 😂
noloco is unfortunately for “internal users”
Depends on the permissions you set.
@ i mean that witj noloco we can not build publicly viewable pages
@@agoogleuser6937 right , got it. yes purely portal use not really marketing/ public content.
Expensive. It's cheaper at softr, so maybe they won't lose customers.
softr with a custom domain is not cheap
For sure they wont - they are also much more ahead with layout options and other datas ources.
