Quick answer

Airtable billing is per workspace: downgrade each paid workspace to Free from your account page. The downgrade takes effect at your next billing cycle, and refunds are limited to short courtesy windows.

Most likely fix: Downgrade a workspace to Free

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Downgrade a workspace to Free

    1. Go to airtable.com/account and select the workspace under Workspace settings
    2. Click the plan next to the workspace name and choose to downgrade (exact menu labels may change)
    3. Repeat for every paid workspace
    4. You keep paid features and limits until the next billing cycle; Free limits then apply (1,000 records per base)

  2. 2. Remove paid seats instead

    1. On Team and Business you pay for users with edit permission on at least one base
    2. Change departing collaborators to Read only before the cycle ends; the total is recalculated at renewal

  3. 3. Request a refund

    1. Monthly plans: courtesy refunds for accidental upgrades or added collaborators within 7 days of the invoice; annual plans within 14 days
    2. Downgrade the plan or remove the collaborators first
    3. In the Help Center click Get help, enter "Refund" and have your workspace ID and card last 4 digits ready
    4. Refunds take 5-10 business days to reach the bank; EU and Turkey customers have a legal 14-day right

  4. 4. Sales-purchased plans

Symptoms

You want to stop paying for Airtable, remove paid seats or get money back after an accidental upgrade.

Why it happens

  • Billing is per workspace, so a second paid workspace keeps billing
  • Downgrades apply at the next billing cycle, not immediately
  • Terms say fees for the current term are not refunded unless required by law
  • Added collaborators can trigger extra seat charges
