Softr

Softr supports connections to over 15 data sources including Airtable, Google Sheets, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other SQL databases. You can also use Softr's built-in relational database which supports up to 1 million records on Business plans. The platform features bi-directional data synchronization, meaning changes made in your Softr app automatically update the connected data source and vice versa. This flexibility allows you to work with your existing data infrastructure without migration, while the built-in database option provides a complete solution for new projects without requiring external tools.

No coding skills are required to build fully functional applications with Softr. The platform provides an intuitive drag-and-drop interface with pre-built customizable blocks for forms, lists, charts, calendars, and more. The innovative AI vibe coding feature allows you to generate user interfaces simply by describing what you want in natural language. For users who want advanced customization, Softr does support custom code injection on paid plans, but this is entirely optional. The platform is specifically designed for non-technical users, small business owners, and teams who need to build professional web applications without hiring developers.

Softr provides enterprise-grade security with granular permission controls and role-based access management. You can create unlimited user groups on Business plans and assign specific data access rights to each group, controlling what users can view, edit, or delete. The platform supports user authentication with options for email/password, social logins, and SSO (SAML and OpenID) on Enterprise plans. Domain-restricted signup ensures only users from approved domains can register. All data connections use secure protocols, and you can implement global data restrictions to ensure compliance with privacy regulations. The platform also supports custom user groups with field-level permissions for maximum control over data access.

Yes, Softr is specifically designed for building client-facing portals, customer dashboards, and external user applications. The platform's granular permission system allows you to securely share specific data with external users based on their roles and relationships. You can create membership sites, partner portals, vendor management systems, and customer service hubs with custom domains and white-labeling to match your brand. Features like payment integrations, e-signatures, and advanced forms make it ideal for business transactions. The responsive design ensures your portals work seamlessly on all devices, and you can deploy as progressive web apps for enhanced mobile experiences.

The Softr free plan allows you to publish 1 app with up to 10 app users and 2 user groups, making it suitable for small projects and testing. You can create unlimited apps in development mode before publishing. The free plan includes 5000 records across all databases and 500 Softr Workflow actions per month. You get access to basic actions, building blocks, and can use a custom domain. However, advanced features like custom code injection, payment integrations, API access, e-signatures, and branding removal require upgrading to paid plans. The free plan is designed to stay free forever, allowing you to build and maintain simple applications without ongoing costs.

Softr offers flexible pricing tiers that scale from free to enterprise based on your user count, app requirements, and feature needs. The Basic plan at $59 per month supports 3 published apps and 20 users, ideal for small teams. Professional at $139 per month expands to 100 users with API access and advanced forms. Business at $269 per month provides unlimited apps and 2500 users with advanced data sources. All paid plans offer annual billing with discounts. User limits refer to app users who access your published applications, not internal team members building apps. Enterprise plans offer custom pricing with dedicated support, SSO, and tailored limits for large organizations with specific compliance and security requirements.
