Founder here! Happy to answer any questions people have. I'm also building in public here: https://twitter.com/clokehead

A couple of people have been confused by 'on Airtable' in the title. Data Fetcher (https://datafetcher.com/) is an extension built (with code) on Airtable's marketplace in the same way you'd build on the App/ Play Store. It's not a no-code app built using Airtable.

MRR is up to $9400 since I did this interview, and should hit $10k in the next month.

I thought you should know.

Thank you! Fixed
Hey there, still not working me for me (404).
That did it!
Do you handle payments outside of Airtable? Just curious how the payment system works and who controls the customer relationship and what Airtable takes as a cut, who handles the recurring payments, etc.
Airtable don't have billing for the marketplace so I handle everything, have a direct relationship with customers and pay no cut to Airtable.
How does the subscription / onboarding process work, especially if they cancel their AirTable, etc? Did you already write any posts about how that flow works?
All billing stuff is handled through datafetcher.com.

Independent of Airtable so if they cancelled their Airtable they can still cancel on datafetcher.com.

Is there a way to make money on airtable besides extensions? Can you sell subscriptions or access to data?
Thanks Andy for clarifying. You are moving way too fast :)
