Probably because they are in business to make money? Customers whose first priority is cost usually aren't good customers.

- rattray 10y agoRight, but even their more expensive paid plan has a 50k row limit, which is low enough to preclude whole classes of applications. They do claim a "custom number" of rows in their "contact us for pricing" plan, but the 50k number suggests that anything higher than that would have serious perf downsides with their current architecture.
- mthoms 10y agoI read somewhere that AirTable is deliberately only targeting "human scale" data use cases.
- hueving 10y agoThat's a daft statement. Every customer cares about cost. The only difference is the price points. If that saying meant anything meaningful, Walmart, Safeway, Ford, etc would not exist. I think what you meant to say was, "don't target customers not willing to pay enough for a profit margin." Much less catchy, but at least it's not bullshit.
- j_s 10y agoI said: "Customers whose first priority is cost" (emphasis added) You said: "Every customer cares about cost" There's a world of difference right there! Appreciate you taking the time to comment but starting with "That's a daft statement" and ending with "bullshit", throwing in "I think what you want to say" for good measure? I must have hit a sore spot!
- wffurr 10y agoMy silly little hobby spreadsheets that would benefit a lot from this are easily >1500 rows.
