Softr · 3.9/5
Free plan available · $19/mo
Default view yearly with 2 months off: Free $0 (unlimited apps/databases/workflows, 5 AI credits, 1 custom domain) / Basic $19/mo / Pro $99/mo / Business $329/mo / Enterprise custom. The meter is app users: extra user packages $5-20/mo by tier and client-user overage starts at $1/mo each; database records and workflow actions are separately capped per tier; extra custom domains $15/mo ($13 annual). Monthly-view numbers are not verifiable from the static page. NOTE: many 2026 third-party guides still quote the superseded ladder (Basic $49-59 / Pro $139-167 / Business $269-323) — the official page now shows $19/$99/$329 on the yearly default view.
Basic $19/mo · Pro $99/mo · Business $329/mo (yearly view, 2 months off)
Softr turns Airtable, Google Sheets and other databases into client portals and internal tools — an easy on-ramp whose real meter is your app's end-user count.
Score breakdown
Pros
- Ease of use scored 5/5 (research): block-based builder with 60+ components and templates; reviewers consistently rate it the fastest portal on-ramp in this set.
- Free plan is genuinely usable (verified on the live page): unlimited apps, databases, workflows and forms, 1 custom domain, 5 AI credits/mo.
- The 2026 yearly ladder is cheap at the door: Basic $19/mo, Pro $99/mo (verified — note many guides still print the superseded $49/$139 figures).
- Data-source model: your data stays in Airtable/Sheets; Softr is the front door, so non-devs ship without a schema migration.
Cons
- Value scored 3/5: the meter is app users, not pages — user packages add $5-20/mo by tier and client-user overage starts at $1/mo each (verified), so a portal's bill grows with its audience.
- No app export — your portal lives on Softr for as long as you run it (noted in 2026 comparisons).
- Record counts and workflow actions are capped separately per tier — three meters to watch, not one.
