This could be game changing for me--I'd heard of Knack but hadn't given it a second of thought until this video. Thank Gareth!

Hi! Back in the day through Paul’s group, you folks convinced me to start my YouTube channel. Knack is great and my practice is mostly about that. Thanks for calling it out … Knack is incredibly powerful.

This video popped up on my LinkedIn this morning. I’ve been building with Knack since 2016 and been a Partner since 2018.One of Knacks unique selling points is its per record, rather than per user pricing. 🚀Great video walkthrough, thanks for sharing your experience with Knack 🙏

Question re the pricing - for Knack - is that 50k records in TOTAL or PER BASE? The airtable price is per base. 50k records is very limiting if that is supposed cover all bases in the workspace.

Really hope Airtable kicks in those extra data options soon. Its taking way too long for them to do it and in the meantime there loosing market share.

[joelbrody]

Heard Airtable was deprecating it's api, requiring use of OA security instead. Knack still uses api. Does Knack actually store the image and file attachments?

I hope that SmartSuite is watching this and possibly re-thinking their business model. So expensive...great app though

Hey,

Thanks for this review... It's an eye-opener for me especially when it comes to pricing. I think Knack is the best. Yes, it may not have all the flexibility that Airtable has but it makes financial sense to try them out.

Have you, in any of your videos compared Airtable with Quixy?

[vincend]

Im sorry, maybe im not fully understanding...
i have a nocode app.
I use airtable to store my data
Airtable is charging me for the users accessing that data??
Also does airtable even allow user authentication?

[davgb]

I have grown beyond this particular level but would have found this video very useful a few months ago as a very clear overview that I couldn't then find!
We're currently exploring Knack and very pleased with what we've so far achieved.
However. I'm also curious about Tadabase which is very similar in appearance to Knack (more so, in contrast to Airtable, etc).
Although starting more expensive, Tadabase seems to have many of the features required externally with Knack, such as Zapier/Make integration or PDF production features.
I'm trying to find review/comparisons between Knack and Tadabase but all these new generation 'database' systems are still lacking much material other than the sometime frustrating feature comparison lists.

Has anyone experience of the two.

[TheRemyRomano]

Right on about Airtable‘s pricing and business model. Ridiculous that we need all of these workaround apps to deal with their sorry ass pricing, especially now that we have interfaces working.

Looking at Airtable pricing, their starter is free, and has unlimited bases so that I can fully flesh out a demo of a product. How is this worse than a 14 day trial on Knack when they expect payment after the fact? It should be that a user can build in a sandbox for free, then start paying, not a 14 day trial.

[ron-manke]

It seems pretty expensive... i guess their pricing model is different, but doesn't seem that inexpensive to start.
