For several years, collaborative spreadsheets like Airtable have revolutionized the way companies structure and share their data.
Between the power of a database and the flexibility of a spreadsheet, these tools allow you to create real business applications without code.
Facing Airtable, Compozz offers a French solution designed for SMEs and organizations seeking simplicity, collaboration and sovereignty.
But Compozz also offers features that Airtable has abandoned.
Launched in 2012, Airtable has convinced millions of users worldwide.
Its strength: combining the familiarity of a spreadsheet with the power of a relational database.
Its advantages:
👉 However, its functional richness sometimes translates into increased complexity and the need to call on No-Code experts to configure the tool according to your needs. Moreover, its per-user pricing can quickly become a barrier for SMEs.
Designed and developed in France, Compozz offers a more intuitive and accessible approach, without sacrificing power.
It's a tool designed to allow each business to manage its data, visualize its indicators and collaborate simply.
Compozz stands out for the ability to use pivot tables in edit mode, just like a good old Excel file allows.
This allows for example to easily manage:
You easily cross several types of data in the same table.
Unlike Airtable, with Compozz you can define personalized user profiles according to roles in your company: Sales, Collaborator, Apprentice...
And each profile can have adapted rights whether on data, dashboards or member management: configuration, editing, or read-only.
For example, you can make an object (or table) accessible to a profile, but restrict their access to one or more specific objects (in writing or read-only).
This gives real flexibility and a major asset for securing access according to business criteria.
Compozz allows you to link several workspaces together, which allows you to centralize data and share it between spaces.
Companies are made up of several departments with different needs or different ways of working. But they all share the same unique customer base. Compozz then allows you to have workspaces well separated by department but a centralized customer base managed by a dedicated department and usable by all other workspaces.
Result: better data consistency and a structure that can be adapted to your needs.
Dashboards are directly integrated next to the data.
No need to change interface: you visualize your indicators in the same place where you work.
Compozz defends a sovereign and ethical approach to data.
Your information is hosted in France, in compliance with GDPR.
An essential guarantee for companies concerned about security and confidentiality (cf. Cloud/Patriot Act).
Where Airtable bills each user, Compozz adopts pricing by company size.
Thus, your entire team can contribute to the data without multiplying licenses.
Result: lower overall cost and smoother collaboration.
