Pros & Cons

Smartsheet AI

  • AI features (formulas, summaries, data analysis) included across all plans rather than gated behind premium tiers
  • Business tier removes the user cap and provides unlimited attachment storage
  • Real-world spending benchmarks (SMB ~$21,164/year, Enterprise ~$144,965/year) provide useful budget context
  • January 2025 private buyout ($8.4B) introduces some uncertainty around future pricing and strategic direction
  • Real enterprise spending (~$144,965/year average) is significantly higher than the advertised per-user rate suggests
  • Advanced automation and integrations require the pricier Business tier over Pro

Airtable AI

  • Acts directly on live Airtable data without an export/import step
  • Integrates with existing automations rather than requiring a separate workflow
  • Useful for teams whose operational data already lives in Airtable
  • Not a compelling reason to adopt Airtable on its own, without needing the base platform
  • Generation quality is comparable to, not clearly ahead of, standalone AI writing tools
  • Full value depends on how much of a team’s actual work already lives in Airtable
