Send anything. The dashboard assembles itself around it — charts named after your fields, history charted, done.
Statboy vs. Airtable
A dashboard, not a dashboard kit.
Airtable can absolutely do analytics — right after you finish building the analytics. It's generic capacity. We're the finished thing. (Yes, we're grading our own homework.)
Create a base. Define the fields. Import the data. Fix the field types. Build the views. Open Interface Designer. Add the charts. Set permissions. Maintain forever.
The tale of the tape.
Weighed on our scale, in our gym.

Airtable
What it is
Analytics, pre-assembled
A very nice database that can be taught analytics, by you, on weekends
First chart
Auto-configured from your first payload
After the base, the fields, the views, and an Interface Designer session
Live data
Webhooks and events are the native language
Automations, sync add-ons, and a light seasoning of Zapier
Changing a chart
Type a sentence
Find the person who built the base. Be nice to them.
Scale
Events measured in millions per month
Records-per-base limits you'll meet sooner than you think
Upkeep
None. New fields chart themselves.
The base has a maintainer now. It's you. It's been you for a while.
Pricing
Fits on a sticky note. Free tier forever.
Per seat, per month, per workspace — collaboration, invoiced
Characterizations are ours, exaggerated for effect, and unburdened by neutrality. Airtable is a trademark of Airtable, Inc., whose product we secretly use for other things.
To be fair — briefly.
Airtable is a terrific flexible database, and the right choice when:
- Humans need to edit the records — content calendars, inventory, hiring pipelines
- The workflow is the product: statuses, assignments, approvals, automations
- You genuinely enjoy building internal tools (no judgment — it's fun)
The difference in one line: in Airtable you work on the data. In Statboy you just watch it — the working part is done.
Your base can stay.
Keep Airtable for the work; let Statboy do the watching. Export any view to CSV and drop it in — instant dashboard with your history intact. Or add one automation that posts new records to your Statboy URL, and the dashboard stays live without anyone maintaining anything.
