Softr
No-code AI business app builder for client portals, internal tools, databases and permission-aware workflows.
AI Co-Builder, databases, blocks, permission groups, integrations, workflows and portal-first applications.
Accessible visual business app building; data relationships and sophisticated permissions still need design.
Clear 2026 tier and add-on tables but complicated builder versus app-user licensing and upgrade thresholds.
Broad connectors, role/data rules and enterprise options, with external API and field-permission verification required.

About Softr
Softr is a no-code and AI-assisted business application builder focused on internal tools, customer portals, team operations, lightweight CRMs, dashboards, inventory applications and membership-style experiences. It lets teams design pages from reusable blocks, connect a structured data source, configure authenticated app users and apply permission rules without writing a traditional full-stack application. Its AI Co-Builder can turn a written requirement into an initial working app with data tables, pages, user groups, navigation and business logic. After generation, builders can refine the pages visually, adjust security and visibility rules, connect records and automate repeated tasks. This differs from prompt-to-code products such as Bolt.new and v0: Softr places greater emphasis on business records, declarative permissions, app users and a managed runtime, not on producing an independent source repository as the principal deliverable. Softr Databases can store the application data within the vendor platform. It also supports numerous external data integrations, including Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, monday.com, ClickUp, Supabase, MySQL, PostgreSQL and REST API sources where supported on the subscription tier. Connections to the underlying data system require thoughtful access design, especially when one app serves external clients who must not see another client's records. Softr Workflows can react to app actions or data changes and update records, send messages, call APIs and run other integrations. The total bill depends on plan, app user population, builders, records, domains and workflows; roles and custom logic have plan-specific limits.
Best for
Business teams creating secure client portals, internal tools, inventory trackers, operational dashboards and role-based applications connected to existing databases.
