When sharing Airtable with clients, vendors, or partners, many teams end up adding paid seats — even when those users only need limited access.

I put together a simple Airtable seat cost calculator to estimate:
- Monthly seat cost
- Yearly seat cost
- Based on plan + number of external users + access frequency

It’s a small utility meant to help teams understand the cost side before deciding how to share data.

Hope this is useful for anyone thinking through Airtable access and pricing.

Hey, this is actually helpful. However:

1. I don’t see both prices being shown (monthly vs. yearly).
2. You might want to include Airtable portal users calculation as well.

Check out Mike_AutomaticN's feedback. Adding monthly and yearly prices side by side would make the tool even more useful. Another cool addition could be calculating costs for Airtable portal users.

I think showing both monthly and yearly prices would make it even more user-friendly. For anyone interested, I've used a similar calculator https://www.gigacalculator.com/calculators/age-calculator.php for age stuff and it's quite handy. Adding a feature for portal users would be awesome too. I'm sure that'd help many teams figure out costs quickly. Your tool is already on the right track.
