In my experience with Softr, I have found that Softr provided clear steps to build customer portal. The feature that I like the most called intuitive drag and drop feature that have allowed me to create customized layout through the use of their templates. This flexibility helped me to bring my ideas to life efficiently. Additionally, I am impressed with the quick and personalized responses from Softr's customer support team. Customer support team provided assistance and guidance with step by step answers to my inquiry. It's a platform I recommend to anyone looking to build website without much knowledge of how to create digital solutions.

I wish there was an alternative to email invitation only option like ability to provide direct invitation links for adding collaborators.

Connecting clients to information

How easy it is to setup the screens and provide a user experience with "easy login"!

It would be helpful if there was a global way to edit elements, instead updating each instance of them.

An easy way to test app ideas without having to hire a developer. Once concept is tested/validated, easier to justify the expense and leap to custom development.

Uh. It's difficult to limit this due to the fact that SOFTR is a tool so strong it can eliminate big teams in months of development onto a single gifted person. Something totally disruptive to the old powers at be when it came to create CRM systems! It's ease of use, No Code, Low Code approach, It's integrations, well it all just makes it unbeatable when it comes to singlehandedly creating elaborate website or systems with almost any wished for function. Even PWA! MAking your CRM mobile friendly if you so chooses. It's implementation is beyond easy. I managed to create a fully functioning website with users and subscriptions in less than 3 weeks outside normal working hours as a personal project! And whenever i had a small challange their customer support where there for me. Especially Andranik which helped me a SUNDAY evening! Just beyond. I am now using it every day due to it being my most powerful tool in combination with either smartsuite or airtable.

If anything it's the lack of integrations, but it's not even a real dislike, since they are full on freight train powering forward to make sure all the right integrations are their! So it's a TINY dislike.

I needed a userbase for subscribing users, having unique permissions depending on their subscription plan. This is beneficial in the way that this project was originally thought up 16 years ago, but was not possible due to project cost and setup difficulty. And now with Airtabel and SOFTR i managed to singlehanded create it all, with even more functions added to it than orignally thought!

It's an elegant solution for a service that is so often over complicated.

Conditional fields not immediately clear, UI could be improved.

Softr allows me to quickly launch my graphic artist profile and set up a space for my customers to review content and pay for services.

Very easy to get started whether it's from a template or from scratch. Can build a simple website, or an eloborate app that connects and automates across multiple platforms. I'm on a paid version to take full advantage of softr, but I appreciate that there are tiered options (starting with free!) That makes it very easy to recommend to others who might just be starting out, whether that's just starting with no-code or just starting their business. I use it for client-facing websites/apps, but also quickly created apps for personal use to easily track expenses, calendar, time, etc. Airtable backed, but softr-built site interface works more seamlessly and beautifully. Customer service cannot be beat. Very friendly and well-versed on the product. Every question has been answered with hands-on response. So many other services don't fully read inquiry and offer cut-and-paste responses.

While plenty of internal softr tools and other data sources, the greatest benefit (for me) is syncing to airtable. As airtable changes permissions or pricing, it could potentially affect softr services. Thankfully they worked around airtable API phaseout, but that also meant some other planned features had to be put on a back-burner to focus energy on OAUTH. Even though I plan to stick with airtable for the foreseeable future, reassured that other data sources continue to be added.

Everything that airtable can do, but presenting it to clients and internal staff for those who are less sheet/base savvy.

Softr has huge opportunities for building really cool users portal, you can display your source data in different way so you can create custom portals

It is not enough design opportunities sometimes

Accuss to dtasource, collaboration between clients, team managers and team members etc.

Great user interface, easy to connect to Airtable and now Smartsuite. Just a fantastic front-end tool for Airtable. Customer support is quick and helpful.

Limited templates which makes some customisation difficult. Not a major issue though

I work mostly with Airtable and Softr is brilliant as the front-end either as an internal app or public website.

Albeit no code the software is really friendly and easy to understand

Would like to have a few features such as a Gantt Chart capability

Eliminates heavy coding

With Softr I built fully functional web apps in matter of weeks. The simple integration with popular data sources like Airtable and well designed building blocks make it super easy to built and scale.

The designfreedom is limited due to the blocks, but I believe it is a benefit in most cases, as it focuses you on building rather than designed everything from scratch.

Launching fully functional web apps fast and validating the product.

Softr is an easy-to-use, yet powerful no-code website builder. I am a business executive with no development experience and was able to build a professional-looking business website. I was also able to build a comprehensive directory website that was easily integrated with an Airtable backend. Both of these websites were able to be built using the Softr free plans. During the building process, I contacted the Softr support team a few times and their team was very quick to respond and to solve my issues. Before using Softr I tried a couple of other no-code website builders and Softr is the easiest to learn while retaining many powerful features. I give their platform two thumbs up!

So far I have not found any negatives of the using the Softr platform for my use cases.

I am able to build a comprehensive job board directory at a very low cost without knowing how to code.

Softr's user interface is designed with simplicity in mind. The intuitive drag-and-drop features make it easy for users, even those without coding experience, to navigate through the platform effortlessly. The onboarding process is smooth and straightforward, allowing users to set up their websites with minimal hassle. The platform's emphasis on simplicity ensures that users can get started quickly without being bogged down by complex technical details.

The platform's primary focus on user-friendliness and a no-code approach means that users with highly specific or intricate requirements might find customization options somewhat limited. For those seeking advanced functionality beyond the platform's standard offerings, some tweaking complexities may arise. However, it's worth acknowledging that Softr's ongoing updates and commitment to user feedback suggest a dedication to addressing these complexities and enhancing the platform's capabilities over time.

Creating a directory collecting/showcasing items and their details for research purpose

Unique value proposition, Platform flexibility, AI App Generator, Airtable integration, Excellent service

Currently no third-party API integration for external data sources

Softr is helping to bring my app to market quicker and cheaper. It's easy-to-use interface and platform flexibility means the path from product conception to launch has been notably narrowed.

Softr is a really intuitive no code app builder. I'm director of a social enterprise (NFP) in the UK and we've built all of our internal tools using the site. The thing that makes Softr really stand out though is the customer service. Friendly, knowledgeable and mind-bogglingly efficient, can't recommend them highly enough.

I can't think of anything I've disliked in over a year of using the product.

As a Not For Profit organisation we need internal tools and client portals that are as flexible as we are and which are affordable and easy to use. Softr ticks all of those boxes and then some.

- The quick learning curve - That I do not need to be technical to launch new business ideas - The integration with airtable, my favorate tool for CRM and projects - The customer Support is definetly a diferential, a special shout out to Marine and Andranik who have been helping me a lot.

I would like more flexibility on design and connection with click up

Softr is allowing me to lauch a full community plataform for my business. Also I am creating lots of features I wouldnt imagine be possible to do without techicall skills or a team. Every time I find a hold blobvk i can figure out with chat GPT, softr community or with the awsome customer support. I am also creating a client portal for my Business strategy, marketing and growth consultancy business

I like the fact that I don't need to know how to code in order to generate a functional marketplace MVP.

There are a few options I wish were part of the free version, but overall great feature set.

I wanted to create a marketplace platform and Softr enabled me to do this very quickly and without knowing how to code.

Softr saves me a lot of time with Airtable, quickly posting my items for sale

the website is not user friendly, very slow

Cutting out having to make listings twice on a website and my records table

No-code, user friendly design makes building the app simple...or rather...simpler.

Needing to sync data numerous times. Troubleshooting and correct data org helps FYI.

Streamlining processes to improve data tracking and entry.

You can create an MVP or a full working app really in a few days.

There are some implementations to develop but the assistance office is super fast to reply to your needs.

Creating a point of contact with partners

I love being able to customize pages, widgets, and more easily with all the pre-loaded templates. Softr.io also easily integrates into Google Sheets and Airtable, making it easy to ensure data is automatically updated and loading as things change.

Honestly, there's nothing I don't like about Softr. It's been super userfriendly and great for us as we've been building our pilot site.

We''re trying to pilot our marketplace to test proof of concept and Softr allowed us to pop up a beta site in less than a day!

We use it to build a customer-facing portal. We were able to get useful data from our AirTable into Softr. It's fast to build with, and the free plan has enough to demonstrate that it's worth paying for. There are some nice additional capabilities like rolling back to previous snapshot states.

It would be great to be able to fork+extend the existing templates.

We don't have a frontend developer, and Softr can take care of many (but not all) things that person would do for us. We get a professional website up quickly and can maintain it. We still have to write a small amount of custom code for some things (feedback form in modal presentation). Hits the sweet spot between speed and customization.

Customer support is really reactive and competent. The product is evolving fast and really simple to use. It matches all my needs.

From time to time the updates done by softr affect the stability of my app and bug fixes need to be done.

Softr is our user portal enabling 500 experts and 400 incubees connect together

It is super easy to use and integrates with Airtable which is what I use for my business. I also love that it's free to get started.

Some of the customization of their templates wasn't intuitive to me. But their support was really helpful when I reached out and asked.

Being able to share updates and a roadmap for my membership from data in Airtable.

the integration with Airtable is fantastic. It is automated and you do not need to integrate another software to communicate Softr with a database.

It could be limited in design. The blocks are almost not customizable.

Being able to create tools easily and quickly. From an MVP to a fully functional page

Very easy to start with blocks and templates. The best tool to build MVP or even simple apps. Free plan is generous.

The pricing is hard to reach for bootstrapers.

Building a user apps for free without having to pay developers.

I always liked to fix problems. I also like business. I consider myself good at AIRTABLE, but I couldnt find a way to combine my passion for problem solving, my AIRTABLE skills in order to make a profit. SOFTR changed that. SOFTR allows me to rent my apps to customers, fix their problems, and earn a profit. I was on the BRINK of bankruptcy in January 2023. SOFTR saved me, and my business (and probably my marriage as well 😅). Thank you very much for such a great product, and keep up the good work!!!

Limited NON-DYNAMIC blocks. Nothing THAT bad. I would only like more options.

Im selling the apps and solving my customers problems.

Ease of use and implementation speed, great customer support

Missing some important functions for forms and buttons

Business processes and information integration

The ease of set up and the functionality that has been demonstrated as it relates to static website information as well as dynamic information that can be added in blocks to an extremely user friendly website app builder is amazing.

There are not many data sources available for the dynamic sources, but I know it won't be that way for long based on what I believe Softr is going to be capable of in the very near future.

At first, I see softr as an extremely easy to use website builder, but the potential is much greater. I plan on replacing a few of my key landing pages, and to create an informative program specific sales page.

I found softr after experimenting with airtables and hitting a limit with usability. So I started to play more and quickly realized the power. As my old company webpage needed a upgrade, I changed to softr. I'm really impressed how easy it was to do a good-looking, functional page without any hussle.

Sometimes the updates of blocks require you to set up the whole block again.

Quick Webpage Building with a database in the backend and no (little) worries about design.

Softr gives non-technical people abilities they didn't have access to before. With Softr, I was able to create a community portal to share templates and facilitate networking. I was also able to build a game portal with a leaderboard and webinars embedded directly in the site. On top of powerful software, their support is amazing. They have real-time chat support available and we have an incredible CSM who goes above and beyond for us to help us build the perfect experience.

The components can be a little limiting as they are all pre-built

Softr lets me build a beautiful interface on top of an airtable database. This gives a professional look while being easily manageable on the backend.
