Softr Reviews & Product Details

Softr is a great way to introduce yourself to the no-code development environment. Being able to build the front end in the designer and the back-end in Airtable (which is super easy to use and understand and also provides a very complete database that suits all needs)

There comes a time where you need to have some more complex understanding of internet protocols to connect Firebase for example, however there's nothing you can't learn with a few clicks in YouTube and Google

Right now, Softr is just helping me out to settle my various interests and not being used for a business purpose. However, I plan to make some internal tools for the NGOs I collaborate with and further projects down the road.

Their customer service is amazing! And, there are so many features that can be used to make your app exactly what you want it to be.

It's always hard to use something pre-built.

Building a two-sided market place and client dashboard.

You don't need to be a coder to use most of the features. SoftR provides a library of pre-built blocks that let you easily create a webpage with enough flebility to make it your own, and not an average page that seems to be cloned from others. They also provide amazing support online.

There's still a limit to the degree of flexibility if you don't know how to code (this can easily be solved with the custom blocks they offer if you have certain degree of coding knowledge)

Woth SoftR we are creating places where to exchange information with our customers and automate processes to improve their experience.

The ease at which I can build a comunity website astounded me.

Unable to change the home/landing page once build had commenced.

Quick and cost effective build

Connecting with Airtable is quick and easy

The user management is still a little convenient

Softr allows my customers to have their own space and gives them information about their business

Easy to set up and learn. I can make basic landing pages using Softr as a non-technical business person.

Limited customizability. Even for simple things, for example if I want to use the "Typewriter" block only for that feature I am unable to delete the button associated with it. Similarly I can't send email subscribers to airtable.

Building internal tools, most of the dynamic functionality is natively on airtable, though, and I use softr as a frontend.
