You love Airtable’s relational spreadsheets, multi-view toggles, and intake forms—until a coworker edits one status cell and triggers a $45/month seat charge, or your base chokes at 50,000 rows. Port your exact Airtable base to FrogBot in a weekend: real Postgres speed, 10M+ rows, and $29/mo flat for unlimited editors.
Install the frogbot skill from github.com/frogbotai/frogbot, import my Airtable CSVs, and recreate our linked tables, Kanban views, and intake forms.Airtable punishes you twice for growing: every colleague who edits a single dropdown costs $45/month on Business, and every base hits a hard record wall. FrogBot ports your exact tables, linked records, and views onto indexed Postgres—with row-level permissions and zero seat fees.
Indexed SQL foreign keys replace sluggish browser-loaded bases and 50k–125k record caps.
Let 200 coworkers, contractors, or vendors edit cells without triggering a $45/seat invoice.
Lock rows and columns in Postgres instead of hiding fields behind fragile Interface Designer views.
“Airtable has gone from $20/month to $700/month because colleagues clicked edit on a status field.”
“Hit the 50k record limit and our multi-base sync broke silently.” → 10M+ rows in one Postgres DB.

Migrate in One Weekend
You don’t rebuild from scratch—your coding agent ports your schema and data directly:
Export your Airtable tables or paste a screenshot of your base. The FrogBot skill inspects your columns, select options, and linked records and writes the exact CollectionConfig files.

No. FrogBot’s Admin UI gives your team fast, filterable data tables, saved views, drag-and-drop Kanban boards (@frogbotai/plugin-board), and Calendar views (@frogbotai/plugin-calendar) out of the box.
They become real Postgres foreign-key relationships and virtual join fields. You still click a linked record to open or filter related rows in the UI, but your data never goes out of sync across split bases.
Usually under an hour. Export your Airtable grids to CSV, hand them to Claude Code or Cursor with the FrogBot skill installed to generate the matching schema, and upload the CSVs directly through FrogBot’s import tool.
Both are built in—and external logins cost $0. Use @frogbotai/plugin-form-builder for public intake forms, or give vendors scoped logins where row-level access rules restrict them to only their own records.
Yes, with zero monthly automation run caps. FrogBot includes 40+ native OAuth pieces and durable background jobs so you can trigger webhooks, Slack alerts, and two-way syncs on every row change.
Port your base locally for $0. Deploy to Dojo for $29/mo flat ($14.50/mo for the first 50 Founding Members).
