Hello guys

I am reaching out to clarify a question regarding your licensing model. I would like to know whether users who will only access and view bases and databases created under a paid account are required to have a paid license as well.

In other words: if I have a workspace under a paid plan, do additional users who will only view or consult information (without editing or modifying data) need a paid license, or can they access it for free?

Thankyou!

@brunofbrsilva 

As ​@Mike_AutomaticN mentioned above, read-only users are always free in Airtable.

Also, if you want to give those users free access to editing specific records in Airtable, you can do that with Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including the ability to update Airtable records using a formcreate custom PDF files from a form submission, and much more.

I show how to update records with a form on this Airtable podcast episode:

Hope this helps!
