Detailed Review
Retable is an online database and spreadsheet tool operated by Retable Limited, a company incorporated in England in February 2021 (company number 13178392, London registered office at Companies House). Its terms give a registered office in Maidenhead, which differs from the Companies House entry. It sells itself directly against Airtable, with a fast import for Airtable bases.
Pricing is published in dollars: Team is $12 per user a month, listed at $120 per user a year, with unlimited workspaces, 50,000 records per project, automations, webhooks, custom branding and a public API. Add-ons raise automation counts, storage and upload limits, and Enterprise offers on-premise or dedicated cloud. A 14-day free trial is offered, and the page shows no permanent free plan.
The privacy policy says the service runs on Amazon Web Services and that data is stored exclusively in a data centre in London certified to ISO 27001. That is UK hosting on a US-owned provider. The company page says little about the team, so the trial is worth testing with real data.
What Retable does well
- UK company with a Companies House number
- Data stored in a London data centre, stated in the privacy policy
- Airtable import and a public API
- Per-user pricing starting at $12 a month
- 14-day free trial
Where Retable falls short
- Runs on AWS, a US-owned provider
- Prices in US dollars, with no free plan
- Outside the EEA, covered by an adequacy decision
- Limited public information about the company and team
Standout feature. An Airtable-shaped product with a direct import, at a flat per-user price and UK-only data storage.
