The short version

  • Only Airtable has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Airtable hitting a plan limit blocks adding records or attachments entirely until you upgrade, rather than degrading gracefully; Roadmunk starter plan at $19/editor/month allows only 3 reviewers; additional reviewers cost $5 each per month
  • They diverge on capability: Airtable covers Spreadsheet-database hybrid, Roadmunk covers Visual roadmaps.
