I’m keen to get started, the main question for me is if I should start from scratch with Glide Tables vs Airtable.

Currently I have to recreate a CRM / Orders / Invoicing solution I built in Filemaker (Like MS Access) - I was about to build it in Airtable but Glide Pages (Desktop use) make it very attractive. The row limits concern me but still reading up.

I have not built using Airtable, but people have complained about its syncing time. My personal favorite is always Glide Tables.

We are also exploring Airtable to house the invoicing solution as the automation provided there seems attractive and efficient.

We have been using Glideapps for a year and so far, all is good. We are going into the next stage to create the Finance section and would like to explore between Google Sheets, Glidetable & Airtable.

However, Glideapps would win hands down when comes to UI and sharing of info to different users!
