Frequently asked questions

Which has higher churn, Notion or Airtable?

Notion has the higher Churn Health Score at 47/100 (grade D), versus Airtable at 42/100 (grade D). Higher score means healthier retention signal. The score is a public-signal estimate built from G2 reviews, Hacker News mentions, Reddit threads, layoffs data, and pricing changes, not a measured churn rate.

How is the Churn Health Score calculated?

Start at 100. Public retention signals are scored across five axes: review sentiment trend (G2 + Capterra), social discussion sentiment (Hacker News + Reddit), pricing-trust events (raises, model changes, removed tiers), workforce signals (layoffs, executive churn), and product-direction signals (deprecations, AI bolt-ons that contradict the audience). Each negative signal deducts; the floor is 0. Grades: A+ = 90-100, A = 80-89, B = 65-79, C = 50-64, D = 35-49, F = 0-34. The methodology is public.

Is this the actual churn rate?

No. Notion and Airtable do not publish their churn rates. The Churn Health Score is a public-signal proxy: it measures the trajectory of trust events visible to outside observers. A score of 47 versus 42 reflects directional difference in those signals, not a measured percentage of customers leaving each month.

Should I switch from Airtable to Notion?

Not on score alone. The Churn Health Score is one input among many: feature fit, integration coverage, team workflow, pricing, and roadmap velocity all matter more for the switching decision. The score is most useful for noticing trust trajectory, especially when one company's score is dropping while a competitor's is stable. Both Notion and Airtable have customer bases that stay despite the score; many will move regardless.
