Description

Softr: Build AI-powered Business Apps Without Coding

Softr is a no-code platform that lets you create custom business apps, portals, and internal tools powered by AI. Build, automate, and connect everything you need in one place—without writing code. Drag-and-drop blocks, a built-in database, and intelligent automation make it possible to launch practical software that fits your exact workflows and brand.

Key features

AI App Builder

  • Build AI-powered apps that actually work for your business. Create client portals, CRM, knowledge bases, inventory systems, intranets, and more.
  • AI App Builder includes AI agents to run on autopilot, OpenAI/Claude/Gemini models, and a dedicated AI credits system. Iterate with AI or visually for the parts that matter most (roles, permissions, security).

Built-in Databases

  • Move beyond spreadsheets with a flexible, built-in database that powers your apps and workflows.
  • Import data via CSV, sync with external sources, and expose a secure database API. Supports standard and advanced data sources (SQL-based databases, Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more).Workflows and Automation

  • Connect tools in your tech stack and automate processes across departments.
  • Ready-made integrations (Zapier, Make, n8n, REST API, and many SaaS connectors) and a powerful workflow engine. Free plans include a baseline of actions; higher plans raise usage limits.

Forms, Interfaces, and UI

  • Create client portals, team intranets, dashboards, knowledge bases, CRM, ERP-like systems, and more.
  • Drag-and-drop building blocks, multi-page forms, conditional logic, inline editing, and role-based access to tailor the UI to your needs.

Integrations and Data Connectivity

  • Connect to Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets, HubSpot, monday.com, ClickUp, Coda, Supabase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, and more.
  • OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other AI integrations enable advanced automation and AI-assisted workflows.

Security, Compliance, and scale

  • Enterprise-grade security, GDPR readiness, SOC 2, 99.9% uptime, and single sign-on (SSO). IP blocking and advanced permissions help protect sensitive data.
  • Enterprise plans include dedicated success managers, priority support, and custom agreements.

Deployments and Accessibility

  • Build once, run anywhere: publish as a web app or turn your app into a mobile PWA with offline capabilities.
  • Custom domains and dedicated Softr subdomains for flexible branding and governance.

What you can build (use cases)

  • Portals: Client portals, vendor portals, and partner portals that are secure and self-serve.
  • CRM and Sales: Custom CRM tailored to your sales workflows without expensive custom development.
  • Knowledge Bases: Internal or public knowledge bases with search and access controls.
  • Inventory and ERP: Centralize inventory, orders, and operations in a single, configurable system.
  • Intranets and Projects: Team intranets, project trackers, and collaboration hubs.
  • Data Dashboards: Turn data into actionable dashboards and reports with minimal setup.

Why teams choose Softr

  • Speed and flexibility: Build and launch apps in hours or days, not months.
  • No-code, with control: Drag-and-drop UI, but with robust permissions, security, and data governance.
  • All-in-one platform: Databases, forms, workflows, AI, and integrations in one tool, reducing tool sprawl.
  • Widely adopted: Loved by 1M+ teams worldwide, with scalable plans for SMBs to enterprises.

Built my entire SaaS on Bubble — $40k MRR now

I was skeptical about no-code but Bubble proved me wrong. I built a B2B client portal with complex permissions, Stripe billing, and real-time notifications. The learning curve is real — give yourself 2–3 weeks — but once it clicks, you're unstoppable. Performance has been solid at our scale.

Incredibly powerful, but the learning curve is steep

Coming from Webflow, Bubble felt overwhelming at first. The editor UX isn't as polished, and performance on complex apps can feel sluggish. That said, nothing else lets you build a full database-driven app without code. The community forums are excellent — almost every problem has been solved by someone.

Great for MVPs, but pricing scales poorly

Used Bubble to ship our MVP in 6 weeks, which was genuinely impressive. But once we needed real capacity, the jump from Growth to Team ($29 to $529/mo) was brutal for a bootstrapped startup. The server unit model is also confusing to reason about. Would love a mid-tier option.
