Desktop and mobile: Teams build and configure databases with automations at a desk, while also collecting entries and approvals on phones in the field. Sample screens on a computer and a phone, in the proposed brand. Their numbers are sample data.

About this appAI proposal
Tablewise is a no-code database for small and mid-size teams who have outgrown spreadsheets but do not write code. Build tables, link records, and view them as grids, boards, calendars or forms, in the browser or installed as an app.
The jobs teams often buy extra tools or build workarounds for are meant to be built in: scheduled automations, documents and PDFs from records, public forms, and per-record change history.
Pricing is listed on one page. A public request board shows what users have asked for and the status of each item, so you can see what is being built.

- Why this name
- Table is the core object; wise suggests choosing sensibly. Two plain words, easy to say. Trademark check needed.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
Linked tables
Connect records across tables, then roll up totals and look up values with a point-and-click formula builder.

Many views
Show the same data as a grid, board, calendar or gallery. Save filters per view and share them.

Built-in automations
Run actions on a schedule or when a record changes: send email, update fields, create records.

Documents from records
Turn a record into a PDF or printable page from a template, with no add-on needed.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Public forms and shared views are sent to clients and customers. Each carries a small 'Made with Tablewise' mark with a link.
- Do they become customers?
- People who fill a form see the brand, but most are not buyers. Test whether some form owners, such as agencies or small offices, click through and sign up.
- First customers
- Small teams of 5 to 30 people, such as agencies or operations teams, that run on Airtable plus one or two add-on tools and are unhappy with the cost.
- Where to reach them
- Hacker News and forums: Join threads where people complain about Airtable limits and offer a free migration for a few teams.
- Comparison pages: Publish a plain page on moving from Airtable, with a CSV import guide.
- First milestone
- Five paying teams that moved a live Airtable base and dropped at least one add-on tool.
Why people already pay for this
- Public claimAirtable is expensive and has limitations that force users to either build workarounds or pay for additional SaaS products
- Public claimAirtable's engineering is unresponsive to solving feature gaps
- VerifiedAirtable's pricing page lists 2 paid plans, from $20 to $45 a month, plus a free plan

RisksAI inference
- CommercialUsers may stay with Airtable because of existing bases and habits. The material shows complaints, not proof that people will switch for a lower price.
- TechnicalA flexible database with linked records, formulas and views is hard to make fast and correct at larger table sizes on a shared Postgres setup.
- CommercialClaims of fewer limitations and faster response are only proposals. The material gives no list of which missing features matter most.
- DataSwitching needs a good import from Airtable exports. Linked records, formulas and attachments may not convert cleanly.
