Airtable just sold for $1.285B. Its last raise valued it at nearly $11B.
That's an 88% drop, and it's not really about losing feature by feature.
Here's the fuller picture:
Bending Spoons (PE) now owns Airtable. PE ownership usually means:
→ price hikes
→ slower feature releases
→ leaner support teams
→ roadmap decisions driven by margin, not users
Notion, meanwhile:
→ revenue growth for 7 straight quarters
→ AI is 60% of the business, up 3x year over year
→ cash-flow positive
Now this gap isn't just financial.
Notion built AI into search, docs, databases, meetings, and now agents. Airtable stayed a really good grid.
None of this matters if you're just storing rows.
It matters a lot if you're trying to build a system AI can actually act on, not just look at.
So if you're a founder choosing between the two right now:
Pick the one still being built for you, by a company still choosing its own future.
That's Notion. That's been the bet since before this news broke.
It's a really strong market signal to move to Notion,
(Let me know if you need help with that 😉)
