How much are you paying for Airtable?

anonymous

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.)

Question

What custom apps have you built in Airtable?

Our team has used Airtable to essentially replace Trello for managing an editorial workflow, but would love to see any more full-featured apps others have built in Airtable.
