Snoze vs Airtable
Airtable is a database with interfaces built on top. Snoze is a database with pages, canvases, dashboards, calendars and automations built in, priced so only editors pay.
Airtable
A spreadsheet-like database with interfaces and automations on top.
Snoze
Databases plus pages, canvases, dashboards, calendar, time tracking and an assistant, in one workspace.
01Where they differ
| Topic | Airtable | Snoze |
|---|---|---|
| Starts from | Bases of tables, with interfaces built separately. | Databases, with pages, dashboards, canvases and calendars as first-class surfaces beside them. |
| Who pays | Priced per seat, with a distinction between editor and read-only access. | Only editors. Operators, viewers and guests are free on every plan, with no cap on how many. |
| Data model | Tables in bases; interfaces and automations built on top. | Records first. A page, board, calendar, dashboard, canvas and automation all read the same rows; change a field and every surface follows. |
| Real-time | Live collaboration in bases. | Multiplayer by default, with a sync engine underneath. Two people editing one record both see it change. |
| Assistant | AI features across bases and interfaces. | Runs with the user's own permissions, cites the records it used, and saves answers as views. High-stake actions ask first. |
| Automations | Automations with per-plan run limits. | Written as sentences, loop over records, every run logged and undoable. Allowance grows per seat. |
| Writing | Long-form notes live elsewhere. | Pages with blocks, mentions of records that stay live, comments and history. |
| Moving over | CSV export per table. | Connect Airtable as a provider, or import tables as CSV into a database. |
02Pick Airtable when
- Your work is mostly tabular data with light interfaces.
- You depend on Airtable-specific extensions.
- You have a large existing base ecosystem.
03Pick Snoze when
- You want docs, boards, dashboards and a calendar in the same place as the data.
- Your operators and viewers should not cost a seat.
- You want an assistant that builds databases and views for you.
04Questions
Moving from Airtable.
- Can I move an Airtable base to Snoze?
- Export each table as CSV and import it into a Snoze database; column types are guessed and adjustable. Airtable is also a connected provider for ongoing use.
- Does Snoze have relations and rollups?
- Yes. Link records across databases, read through the link, and compute with formulas that update when the fields they read change.
- What views does Snoze have?
- Table, board, calendar, timeline and gallery, each saved with its own filters, sort and permissions, over the same records.
