Interesting that they would launch this as a totally separate product and not as a part of G Suite. Do you think they want to create some distance between them and the rest of Google because ofd Google's reputation of shutting down products? Or maybe they want to launch a product outside the usual bureaucracy?
It literally just has no backing by Google's corporate or business goals.
It seems like some folks at Google just woke up to Airtable and launched a counter MVP. I do not really expect more from Google any more. When there are tough competitors, why would people use something else which does not even look quite finished? Google has reach (read search monopoly), so I guess that is an angle.
This isn't part of GSuite and therefore isn't subject to the same SLA. I wonder if the pricing will stick like this forever or if it will eventually be bundled, since Microsoft already includes something like this in 365 (and many companies probably already pay someone else for this type of functionality, like Airtable). I'd be a little scared of paying for something in the Google incubator, knowing how they cull stu…

If Tables is just it’s own thing, not related to search, GSuite, GCP or ads then it’s already dead. At some level it must suck to know that you’ve created a culture where people don’t even care to try out your new fancy gizmo, because they expect you to abandon to quickly it’s simply not worth investing you time in. Or does Google not know that how they’re perceived?
Interesting to see it being paid though! The free tier seems very limited for a google product: 1000 rows, 100 tables, 50 bot actions... paid version is $10 a month. 1000 rows won't be enough for anything serious - so they must be really betting on people paying. I guess that's also why it's not integrated directly with GSuite?
