Facts about On2Air Backups were observed on On2Air Backups (Openside, Utah)’s own pages on 2026-10-06. Where something could not be verified, the row says so.
| On2Air Backups | AirtableBackup | |
|---|---|---|
| Price basis | Bases, records, attachments and restores per month: Starter $9.99 (1 base, 50,000 records, monthly only), Essentials $29.99 (15 bases, weekly), Professional $49.99 (50 bases, 500,000 attachments, daily, 5 restores a month), Premium $79.99 (250 bases, hourly, 10 restores a month). 20% off yearly. | $19 per base per month, flat. Nothing is metered. |
| Backup frequency | Monthly on Starter, weekly on Essentials, daily from $49.99, hourly from $79.99. | Every change as it happens (live updates), plus a full backup every night, at every speed setting |
| Attachments | Counted (2,500 on the free tier to 1 million), and stored in your own drive, so your drive quota is a second bill. Only new attachments are copied after the first run. | Stored once by content, deduplicated, not metered. |
| Change history | None: each run rewrites full CSVs. No record of who changed what. | Every change with a name on it, with before and after values. |
| Restore depth | Rebuilds selected tables as new tables in an existing or new base (restore added July 2024). Cannot restore a single record. Attachments come back as links to files in your drive; formula, rollup, lookup and button fields become text, with a "Meta Restore Table" listing what to fix by hand. One to ten restores a month by tier. | One change, one field, one record, a table at any moment, or a whole base into a new base; every restore undoable, unmetered. |
| Automations and scripts | No. On2Air states it cannot back up automations, interfaces, extensions or formulas (formula text is in its Meta.json). | Yes: configuration, script source, forms and interface page metadata, saved nightly, versioned on change |
| Browse the backup | Backed-up data is not shown in the app; you open the exported files in your drive. | Any table at any moment in the console, the Timeline of changes, and the history of one record by name. |
| Restore proven automatically | No. | An opt-in nightly restore test. |
| Trial | The trial defaults to a one-time run and the project deactivates afterwards, so the scheduled product is not experienced before paying. | 14 days of the full product, no card. |

Fair is fair
Where On2Air is stronger
- The backup files land in your own Google Drive, Dropbox, Box or OneDrive, so you hold them without the vendor in the loop. AirtableBackup keeps your backup in its own storage; you can export any table as CSV at any time, but the files are not written to your drive.
- It is listed on the Airtable Marketplace, since 2022.
- Its Premium tier covers 250 bases under one subscription.
- A free tier exists for very small bases (1 base, 100 records per table, monthly).
