Feature comparison
Where Filla wins
Conditional logic on fields, pages, and sections
Show or hide any field, section, or page based on previous answers. Airtable's native forms have no conditional logic at all.
Multi-step forms with progress bar
Break long forms into multiple pages with conditional page routing. Airtable native forms are single-page only.
Linked record creation and editing
Open child forms to create or edit linked records from within the main form. Airtable native forms only allow selecting existing linked records.
Full custom branding
Custom logo, accent color, favicon, 6 header image layouts, custom domain, and branding removal. Airtable native forms show Airtable branding with minimal customization.
18 processor tools and on-submit automations
Generate PDFs, send emails, update fields, fire webhooks, and run 18 data processing tools. Airtable native forms have no built-in automation.
Advanced validation and verification
Email OTP, disposable email blocking, phone format validation, file type restrictions, address autocomplete, and custom validation rules. Airtable forms only support required fields.
Where Airtable Forms wins
Zero setup required
Airtable's native form view is built into every table. One click creates a form. Filla requires connecting your Airtable account and setting up the form in a separate tool.
No third-party dependency
Airtable forms are maintained by Airtable. No separate subscription, no external service to depend on.
Free with Airtable
Airtable forms are free on all Airtable plans. Filla has a free tier with 100 records/mo, but advanced features require a paid plan starting at $19/mo.
More than a form builder
