Teable's free plan is the first thing teams outgrow: it holds 1,000 rows and gives only 200 one-time AI credits, so testing AI fields properly means paying. SSO and a custom app domain are Business-only, which is 20 USD-level per-seat pricing billed yearly ($36 if monthly), and costs vary with seats and add-ons rather than one flat fee. Heavy AI use also drains the per-seat credits.
Notion AI starts at $12 per member on its Plus plan and has a free option, which suits teams who want docs and light databases in one place. Zapier is automation rather than a database: Professional starts at 19.99 USD for 750 tasks a month, with a free tier. n8n is listed with a free option and no starting price stated in our data, so check it before comparing costs. Pick by whether you miss the database, the workflows or the app builder.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
