Hi Tom
We are not satisfied with Airtable.
Hi Greta
Nice to see you again.
What is the problem?
Airtable is just a couple of expensive spreadsheets
We need better input forms adjustment.
Better user rights.

Use Tabidoo.
Still really simple low-code platform, but much more powerful.
  • You can link tables to each other.
  • You can see history.
  • You can use automation.
  • You can user powerful rights.
All without programming. Tabidoo solved all our needs for data tracking.
Isn't it expensive?
Not at all.
Even in Free plan you can use all the features.
Just give it a try.
Great. It looks like the solution, which moves our business forward.
It is always pleasure to talk with you.

Form vs. Inline edit

While Airtable is great for working with simple tables, Tabidoo is more suitable when you require better control of data validity.

01

In Airtable you mostly write data directly into a table (like in Excel). In Tabidoo you open a form to input data.

02

Tabidoo - During input, it is very easy to change which fields are required, visible or prefilled.

03

Tabidoo - When you are working with big tables, you can divide the form into sections/categories. That makes your work much easier.

Report designer

The report designer in Tabidoo is incredible. It is very intuitive and as powerful as professional tools.

There are some ways how to get printed reports from Airtable. But it is still workarounds.

Support

Tabidoo, as a significantly smaller company, has nice and friendly support. All of the development is driven by user feedback.
