Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge listed as AIRTABLE* BUSINESS SCALE on your credit card statement stems from Formagrid, Inc., the corporate entity behind Airtable. This billing item represents subscription fees for the Airtable Relational Database & App Building Platform, which organizations utilize to build relational databases, custom internal interfaces, and automated workflows. Card issuers frequently log this transaction under aliases such as FORMAGRID INC, AIRTABLE INC, or AIRTABLE.COM. If someone on your operations or product team manages shared company bases, the recurring software license bills to the corporate card on file.
Unreviewed registry note: Airtable bills workspaces on a per-seat model, which frequently catches cardholders off guard. The Business tier costs $45 per seat per month when billed monthly, while the smaller Team tier costs $20 per seat per month. Unplanned charges occur when an existing workspace user shares a base and invites coworkers with editing or creator permissions. Every invited collaborator with edit access immediately converts into a billable seat, prompting an automated prorated charge or a higher recurring invoice. A team lead granting access to three colleagues can quickly cause unexpected charges. Expiring 14-day free trials also transition into recurring paid plans if not downgraded before the trial concludes.

Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
Unreviewed registry note: Before disputing this charge with your financial institution, verify whether a team member or department manager added seats to an existing Airtable workspace. Filing an unauthorized chargeback flags the payment account, which often leads Formagrid, Inc. to lock the entire workspace and revoke access to vital operational databases.
