How does Airtable compare to Notion? What are the features that they have in common?

Unless im missing something airtable = database and notion = wiki how are they supposed to be compared in the first place.


Airtable is a glorified spreadsheet. Notion is a glorified wiki.


What's Coda, by these analogies?


Glorified markdown


$2.585 billion for a spread sheet company? yikes


Definitely used as a 'better spreadsheet' by some, but also used as a no/low code app builder by many

Still lackluster compared to excel + powerapps + powerautomate


Considering how much of the world runs on Excel? And the business process/productivity segment of MSFT had 46 Billion in rev?


Could you point to the source pls ? Wondering how much of that might be just excel



I wonder if OP meant how much is Excel responsible for, roughly.
