Softr

I used Softr to build a no-code app. It’s incredibly user-friendly and allowed me to launch quickly without a developer. I especially liked how easy it was to connect to external data sources like Airtable and manage content visually.

Tip: Great for building portals, MVPs, and internal tools fast. Alternative considered: Bubble – but it was more complex to set up.

Great platform with a strong team behind it!

Softr is my go-to tool when I am building a directory. It is easy to use and beautiful!

Softr powers the interface and some databases of Lookio - it's the best no-code app builder out there! Within the Softr app, Lookio users configure their workspace, upload their resources, manage their assistants, and get their API key.

The app looks beautiful and intuitive out of the box, and could be extra customized with some custom code when needed!

We decided to build an MVP on this platform. When we registered, we got a 7-day trial on the Professional plan. During those 7 days we only tested basic features, templates, etc. We started building our actual MVP after the trial ended—on the Free plan—in a new app. Anything not available on Free was clearly flagged and inactive.We spent about a week assembling the MVP and used custom user groups extensively; they worked both in Preview and in the published app. Two days ago we began setting visibility settings for different user groups—and they simply didn’t work. Support then told us that custom user groups aren’t available on the Free plan and that we’d need to upgrade not just to Basic but to Professional ($167). The issue is that these custom groups had been working all along (and still do), with no warnings during build; the problem only surfaced when configuring visibility.I don’t know if it’s a bug or a deliberate funnel to push users to Pro, but we lost a lot of time. Support didn’t apologize and instead blamed my cache, even though we cleared it many times and used multiple browsers due to other display issues. Be careful—I wouldn’t recommend it for anything serious. We’ll test Bubble in parallel and then decide.

Softr works remarkably well, it's intuitive, reliable, and turns complex spreadsheets into sleek, fully functional apps without any coding. It's honestly surprising how much you can build in such a short time.

Softr is intuitive and has the majority of the features needed to build a client portal. But what impresses me most is Softr's support team. The team is very supportive, knowledgeable, and readily available to provide support throughout the development journey.

Softr made it incredibly easy to build a clean, professional frontend without coding. Perfect for quickly testing and shipping NarcGuard.

We used Softr to build our first version of our product. Softr allowed us to go from an idea, to having a portal client's can log into super quickly and a very low cost. We considered Bubble but the learning curve was much steeper than Softr.

Softr brought our Airtable database to life with their beautiful no-code solution. That way, we could spend our time on researching the best software, instead of building a website.

I used Softr for the Frontend. It was a breeze for a non-technical person like me to create a product using Softr. The templates were exceptionally useful.

Based on my experience with multiple no-code tools, I found Softr to be the easiest and quickest to test and launch GraduatePark with the features that I needed right now.

Great place to build an MVP rudimentary marketplace, dynamic website or portal. Their support is bad, I've had technical issues that they take weeks to assist with, often going days without any update. Their whole site was down once at a very important moment in my business - my customers could not access my website and I lost out on business.
