Microsoft announces Lists, a new Airtable-like app

I'm trying to replace Google Sheets with Airtable for spending, and also tracking time spent on project to calculate my hourly rate.

Some things about it are awesome, and with Zapier integrations you could do a lot of fun stuff (1). Like attaching files to a row is something obviously very useful.

But OTOH simple analysis using pivot tables, like I do in Google Sheets, is a pro feture (blocks) which a free user can't even evaluate.

(1) Something like: everytime I generate a new sw build, add file to Airtable and start a draft email to client linking about the new version.

You mentioned pivot tables, so reporting tools may be more appropriate in your case. Say, you can keep using Google Sheets, and sync the worksheet with BI tool that for various reports. A lot of totally free options here (including SeekTable, why not?..).
