migrating from airtable to tinytable - what to expect

Sep 25

weve been on airtable for 2 years and the pricing just got insane for our team size. were at 120/month for basically glorified spreadsheets thinking of moving our project tracker and client database over to tinytable. few questions: - can i import from csv? we have about 3000 rows across 5 tables - are there linked records between tables (like airtable relationships)? - views with filters - can i create saved views that show different slices of the data? - formulas across columns? anyone who migrated willing to share what the experience was like?

i migrated about 4 months ago from airtable. heres my experience: - csv import works fine. did about 5000 rows and it took maybe 30 seconds. you map columns during import - linked records: yes there are relationships between tables. works similar to airtable but the UI for setting them up is slightly different - views with filters: yes. you can create multiple saved views per table. we have a "active projects" view, "completed" view, "this month" view etc - formulas: basic formulas work. not as extensive as airtable formulas but covers most common needs (sum, count, date math, conditionals) biggest difference honestly is the pricing. airtable was getting ridiculous especially when we needed more records per base

this is super helpful thanks. the csv import and views are the big ones for us. going to do a test migration this weekend

made the same switch. one thing worth knowing - if you rely heavily on airtable automations youll need to rebuild those as workflows here. the upside is the workflows are way more powerful than airtable automations

the workflow integration is honestly the killer feature vs airtable. in airtable your automation options are super limited. here you can build genuinely complex logic and connect to any API
