Softr
Turn Airtable, Sheets, or SQL into client portals and internal tools — no code, with an AI app builder on top.
About
Softr is a no-code platform for building web apps on top of data you already have: Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, Supabase, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, plus native Softr Databases (launched 2025) for when you would rather keep data in the product. You assemble client portals, internal tools, directories, and membership apps from pre-built blocks — lists, forms, charts, calendars — with user authentication, granular permissions, and Stripe payments.
Softr now describes itself as AI-native: an AI app builder generates the interface, database, and workflows from a description, and built-in AI agents can run inside databases and workflows, with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini models available for AI steps. It holds a 4.7/5 rating on G2 from 741 reviews (September 2026) and claims 1M+ businesses (provider-claimed). Pricing is Free, Basic $19/mo, Pro $99/mo, Business $329/mo (annual). Honest limits: no code export (vendor lock-in), per-user pricing that scales fast, and SOC 2 reporting only on Enterprise.
