Teable: cost, fit and limits
Teable is a no-code database and app builder made by Teable AI, Inc. that stores tables in Postgres and uses AI to generate databases, internal apps and automations from a written description of a business process.
What to know first
Teable offers a free plan, Pro at $13 per seat per month billed yearly and Business at $20, with row, credit and automation-run quotas that grow by plan. The homepage describes AI that builds the database, app and automations from a process description, and names a remote MCP server and CLI. The privacy policy says the service is primarily hosted in the United States.

Who Teable is best for
Teams migrating from Airtable
The homepage advertises a one-click move of a full Airtable base, and Airtable is among the integrations named, which shortens a trial migration.
Operations teams building internal apps
Apps are built from your own processes with one-click publishing and rollback, and permissions can be set per person, department or field.
Buyers who value an audit trail
Every cell edit is logged with before and after values, and every automation run is logged, which helps teams that must explain changes to records.

What Teable does
- Describe-to-build AI
- Teable AI builds the database, the app and the automations from a description of a process. An AI step can also run inside an automation, for example to summarize a contract.
- Postgres tables
- Tables are stored as real Postgres, which the vendor positions as a base for large row counts. Pro lists 250,000 rows and Business up to 1,000,000.
- Internal apps
- Apps are made from your own processes, published in one click and rolled back if needed. A custom app domain and SSO are Business features, while Free includes the App builder.
- Field-level permissions
- Access can be set per person or department down to individual fields, and SSO arrives on Business. Together with the edit log this serves teams with sensitive columns.
- Automations and MCP
- Automations run on events or schedules, and each run is logged. The homepage names a remote MCP server and a CLI for outside assistants and scripts.
How Teable handles your data
The privacy policy says OpenAI and Vercel are contractually barred from training models on your content, and it does not say Teable itself trains on it. Deleted spaces, projects and tables sit in trash and are removed after 30 days, and deleted records can be restored for up to three years depending on plan. Backups and server logs are kept 30 days at most and security and audit logs one year. Hosting is primarily in the United States. International transfers cite the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses, and no certification is named.
Where Teable falls short in practice
- Free tier is a trial-sized dataset. Free caps rows at 1,000 and automation runs at 100, and its 200 credits are one-time. Teams with a real dataset will meet Pro almost immediately.
- Ambiguous price display. Beside the Pro and Business prices the page shows $24 and $36 labeled Save 44%, without saying what those figures are. Confirm the billed amount before purchase.
- US hosting by default. The policy states primary hosting in the United States, and the pages we read name no EU region. European buyers with residency rules need written answers before loading personal data.

Alternatives to Teable
Teable: common questions
Does Teable train AI models on my data?
The privacy policy says OpenAI and Vercel are contractually barred from training models on your content. It does not make a training statement about Teable's own use, so ask the vendor to state that in writing if your contract requires it, and check whether the AI step inside automations sends row content to a provider.
How do credits work on the paid plans?
Pro includes 2,000 credits per seat and Business 3,000, while Free gives 200 one-time bonus credits. The pages we read do not say what each AI action costs, so run the AI field and app builder on a real table and watch the counter.
Can I move an Airtable base into Teable?
The homepage advertises a one-click move of a full Airtable base. We did not test it, so check how formulas, linked records and attachments arrive on a copy, and keep the original base running until the new views and automations give the same results.
Where is Teable data stored?
The privacy policy says the service is primarily hosted in the United States. It cites the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers, and the pages we read name no EU hosting option. Ask whether a European region can be arranged for your account.
What happens to deleted tables?
Deleted spaces, projects and tables are held in trash and then permanently removed after 30 days. Deleted records can be restored for up to three years depending on the plan, and backups and server logs are kept 30 days at most.
