What Separates Xano

API Development

Xano's No-Code API Builder enables anyone to build API endpoints and complex business logic quickly and effectively.

Scalability

Xano is designed to scale to your business needs. Utilizing Dockers for single-tenant deployments and Kubernetes to orchestrate scaling on the Google Cloud Platform (or bring your own cloud).

Performance

Xano processes all its workflows on a performant dedicated server, built for searching over large amounts of data. Airtable does this by processing on the front-end (in your browser), so things start to slow down as the bases become larger.

Unlimited Records

Build without a record limit on Xano; the PostgreSQL database can scale horizontally and vertically. Airtable's relational database has a 50,000 record limit per base on the self-serve plan and up to 250,000 records on the enterprise plan.
