The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Airtable hitting a plan limit blocks adding records or attachments entirely until you upgrade, rather than degrading gracefully; Mozilla Firefox no longer supported on Windows 8.1 and earlier versions (users must use Firefox ESR)
  • They diverge on capability: Airtable covers Spreadsheet-database hybrid, Mozilla Firefox covers Enhanced tracking protection.
