Why I built this

I kept hitting the same wall. A small business stores its data in Airtable, then needs to give a customer, a student, or a contractor access to a slice of it. The options were all bad. Pay per seat in Airtable for people who shouldn't see the whole base. Move the data to a custom app. Or wire up something brittle in Stacker or Softr that costs more than the Airtable plan it's sitting on.

CollabPortals is the simple version of that. Connect your base, pick what each role can see, share a link. Flat $10 a month, however many customers log in.

What we believe

Five things we've decided up front.

  • 01

    Your data stays in Airtable.

    We don't copy your records into our database. The portal reads and writes to your base directly, so there's nothing to sync and nothing to migrate if you ever leave.

  • 02

    Flat price. No per-seat fees, ever.

    A portal exists to share data with lots of people. Charging you by the head is the wrong model for the job, so we don't. $10 a month, billed annually. Invite ten portal users or ten thousand; the price never moves.

  • 03

    Granular permissions, or none at all.

    Set access per role, down to a single field: hide a column, make it read-only, or make it required. Or skip all that and give everyone the same full view. However tight or loose you want it is your call.

  • 04

    Ship the small things.

    Filters, sort, branding, custom URLs, role mapping. No enterprise tier we are hiding the basics behind.

  • 05

    A portal, not a platform.

    We're not an app builder, and we're not bolting on an AI that writes your software. You already built your thing in Airtable. CollabPortals does one job, letting the right people see and edit the right parts of it, and we intend to keep it that way.

Yes. One subscription, unlimited bases and unlimited portals.
Can my customers edit records?
Yes, on tables and fields you choose. View, create, edit, delete, all configurable per role.
Can I hide certain fields from certain users?
Yes. Per-role, per-field. Hidden, view-only, editable, or editable-and-required.
Do my customers need an Airtable account?
No. They sign in with their email and a 6-digit code.
Will this cost more if I add more users?
No. Flat $10 a month annual, $12 monthly, however many customers log in.
Can I use my own domain?
Right now every portal lives on a collabportals.com link. Custom domains are in development and coming soon.
Can I add my logo and colours?

Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly cancels next billing cycle, annual is non-refundable but no auto-renew gotchas.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Free trial, no card needed. Build a portal first, decide later.
Do you have an API?
Airtable has the API. Use theirs for automations, webhooks, and Zapier-style work.
Will my data be safe?
OAuth 2.0 to Airtable, encrypted in transit, your records never leave your base.
Can I pay annually?
Yes. $120 a year, which works out at $10 a month. Save $24 vs monthly billing.
