Overview

What it does.

Softr is a no-code application builder aimed at business users. It connects to Airtable, Google Sheets, SmartSuite, HubSpot, Notion, Supabase and SQL databases or uses its own built-in database, and turns that data into web apps with lists, forms, charts, user logins and permission rules. An AI app generator produces a first version of a portal or internal tool from a description, and AI blocks can summarise or classify records. Common builds are customer portals, partner directories, CRM front ends and employee intranets. It is used by operations teams at small companies that keep data in spreadsheets or Airtable and need a secure interface for clients or staff. Workflows automate emails and record updates, and Zapier and Make connect it to the rest of the stack. A pilot is building a client portal on an existing Airtable base on the free plan and inviting a handful of test users. Caveat: pricing separates team users from client users and scales with usage, so a portal with many external logins can become expensive quickly.
