Airtable has been acquired by a company called “Bending Spoons”…

For those who are not familiar with them, they’re a company that buys succesful products, (almost) completely halts development and support, and raises prizes slowly but steadily, to completely squeeze out every last drop of value they can get out of it.

Point is: I’ve started migrating my databases to Baserow. Consider migrating to something else yourself, it always ends badly with these guys. Another famous victim is Evernote…

Google (or ask your favorite LLM): "Bending Spoons Controversy" and you'll know their MO immediately.

A list of suitable Airtable alternatives, depending on your requirements:

Baserow — Baserow BV
NocoDB — NocoDB, Inc.
Grist — Grist Labs
SeaTable — SeaTable GmbH
NocoBase — NocoBase
Directus — Monospace Inc.
Rowy — Rowy
Stackby — Stackby / Relytree Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
SmartSuite — SmartSuite
Coda — Coda Project, Inc. → acquired by Grammarly
ClickUp — ClickUp
monday.com — monday.com Ltd.
Supabase — Supabase, Inc.
Xano — Xano, Inc.

I suggest you take the easy way out, while it's still possible...
