Visit our help center to see the full list of functions supported by Grist. Grist, like Airtable, supports Excel-like functions such as IF(), CONCATENATE(), COUNT() and so on. Keep track of our progress in Grist’s product roadmap. Automations are something we plan to implement. Some of the things in the Scripting app marketplace are already possible in Grist, such as embedding Google Maps, randomizing values, or attaching multiple files to an attachment cell in bulk, but others automations are not yet available. Scripting apps, available on the Pro plan which costs $20/user/month, allow users to do things like create multiple templates for a record or validate emails. Custom widgets are similar to Airtable’s Blocks SDK which enable Airtable users who write code to create their own custom apps.Īirtable super users are probably wondering how Grist compares to Airtable’s scripting apps. It can also pull in external data, such as a map, and pin locations stored in your document. Custom widgets can read and/or write data in your document and express it in new formats, such as building invoices or mailing labels. In Grist, all widget options are available on all plans, including the full palette of choice colors.įor technical users with some coding ability, custom widgets open up more possibilities.
For some widgets Airtable limits options - such as limiting choices to 7 colors - except on the highest-priced plan. Both offer convenient widgets, such as a calendar picker for dates, and a dropdown with auto-complete for choices. This is a database approach, and is a shared differentiator when compared to traditional spreadsheets.
Grist and Airtable both offer columns of several types, such as Numeric, Text, Date, Choice, Reference, and Attachment. The ability to custom build your own highly productive layouts makes Grist a more flexible data tool for any project or business.
