How much are you paying for Airtable?
We pay $48/month to have two users with edit access at the Pro level (that is monthly pricing, not annual). At one point, other contributors were invited and every one joined as a billable contributor. Once I realized the bill had ballooned, I set the others to Read-Only so we wouldn't have to pay for them. (Tip: there is a way to generate invite links that specify the contributor level, to avoid this situation.)
