How does Airtable compare to Notion? What are the features that they have in common?

  > How does Airtable compare to Notion? What are the features that they have in common? Unless im missing something airtable = database and notion = wiki how are they supposed to be compared in the first place.

  Airtable is a glorified spreadsheet. Notion is a glorified wiki.

        I wonder if OP meant how much is Excel responsible for, roughly.
