Reshape how your business operates

When your software doesn’t fit your process, build software that does: internal tools and workflows for your team, customers, and partners.

Describe what you need in Softr, Claude, or ChatGPT. Refine apps and workflows with AI, or edit visually in Softr.

Connect your existing tools or use Softr Databases, so everyone works from a single source of truth.

Tailor pages and actions to what each audience needs to see or do. Match your brand with your own logo, colors, and fonts.

A prompt in Claude asks Softr to build an inventory app, and Softr creates the app and a reorder approval workflow
Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, PostgreSQL, Gmail and Slack connect to Softr, which powers a sales CRM, budget approvals and an inventory tracker

Run critical work on what you build, without engineers

Software your team, customers, and partners can depend on, built on a secure foundation you manage yourself.

Build apps and agents on shared systems: data, users, permissions, and workflows, so you never rebuild logins or access rules.

Manage what each role can see and do. Preview your app as a specific role or user to check permissions before publishing.

Inspect data tables, relationships, and workflow steps to see how everything fits together. Make changes yourself without filing an engineering ticket.

Get more work done with AI agents

AI agents take the routine work off your team’s plate, using your data, following your rules, and waiting for your approval.

Use Claude or ChatGPT to create databases, manage data, and build apps and workflows through the access you grant.

Workflows and AI agents handle routine steps, like chasing documents, routing requests, and updating clients, with your approval where it matters.

Why Softr

Building software got easy.
Running it securely didn’t.

Softr gives you the freedom of AI-built software, on business systems you can trust.

Frequently asked questions

What is Softr?

Softr is an AI app builder for creating portals and internal tools for your business operations, without code. You describe the app you need, and the AI Co-Builder creates the database, pages, user roles, and business logic. Everything arrives connected, secure, and ready for real users. More than 1 million builders and 7,000 organizations build on Softr, from single departments to enterprises including Netflix, Google, Stripe, and UPS.

What can you build with Softr?

Build the operational apps your business runs on with Softr. Create CRMs, company intranets, inventory and asset trackers, custom forms and internal dashboards. Client portals are the most common starting point, and teams often add internal tools alongside them. A department lead can manage the build, while one app can serve dozens to thousands of users.

Why use Softr instead of Airtable?

Softr differs from Airtable in three ways: permissions, pricing, and what runs underneath. Softr's user groups control which pages, data, and actions each user can access within the same app. Airtable charges per seat, so an app for hundreds or thousands of external users gets expensive quickly. Softr charges by app user to keep costs predictable as the audience grows. Softr also uses its own database and automation engine, so you aren't locked into one ecosystem.

What systems and data sources does Softr connect to?

Softr Databases is the native option, and Softr also connects to 21+ external data sources. Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets, Coda, SmartSuite, Xano, Zoho CRM, and a REST API connector are available on every plan, including Free. Pro adds monday.com, Supabase, and ClickUp. Business adds HubSpot, BigQuery, Microsoft Excel, and SQL databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MariaDB. Enterprise adds Salesforce and Snowflake. For anything without a native connector, Softr Workflows can call any external API over HTTP.

Can Softr replace our manual spreadsheet and email workflows?

Yes. Softr Workflows handles the approvals, reminders, onboarding steps, ticket routing, and status updates that usually run on manual email. A workflow can trigger from a button click, a form submission, a schedule, or a record change. With Softr Databases, record changes trigger workflows instantly rather than on a polling delay. Partners and clients can also maintain their own records directly in the app, which removes the chasing.

Can I stop one client from seeing another client's data?

Yes. Softr keeps client data isolated with user groups and global data restrictions. Softr hides or shows whole pages, individual blocks, and single action buttons based on the group a person belongs to. Global data restrictions apply the same rules at record level, so someone only loads the rows they're allowed to see. You confirm it before publishing by previewing the app as any user you choose, instead of creating test accounts and logging in and out. Custom user groups are available on Pro (up to 3) and Business (up to 10).

Does Softr support SSO with Okta or another identity provider?

Yes. Softr supports enterprise SSO over SAML and OpenID on the Enterprise plan, which covers Okta, JumpCloud, and other standard identity providers. SCIM is available for provisioning and deprovisioning users automatically. On other plans, login options include email password, one-time codes, Google sign-in, magic links, and two-factor authentication on Business.

Is Softr secure and compliant enough for enterprise IT?

Softr is SOC 2 Type II compliant. Softr hosts your data in the EU by default, which supports GDPR requirements, and US hosting is also available. Database connections run server-side, so API keys and queries never reach the browser. Softr apps run on tested platform components rather than generated code, so there's no custom codebase for IT to review, host, or patch. Softr keeps the underlying stack updated, and agent access over MCP inherits the same permissions the app already uses.

How much does Softr cost?

Softr has four self-serve plans plus custom Enterprise pricing. On annual billing the monthly rates are Free $0, Basic $19, Pro $99, and Business $329. Every plan, including Free, includes unlimited apps, databases, workflows, forms, and every building block. What changes by plan is usage volume, governance depth, and a few specific capabilities like custom code and external API calls. Nonprofits and educational organizations get 50% off any plan.

Do you need to know how to code to use Softr?

No. Softr needs no code at any point, and it doesn't hand you code to maintain later. You can start three ways: describe the app to the AI Co-Builder, open a template, or build it manually. Anything the AI Co-Builder creates stays editable through the same visual controls, so AI speeds up the work without becoming a dependency. A department lead can own both the build and the ongoing changes.

How is Softr different from vibe coding tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Replit?

Vibe coding tools generate a codebase you then debug, host, and maintain, whereas Softr assembles components already tested in production. Authentication, permissions, hosting, and security ship with every app, so there's no generated code to deploy or fix. When you need custom UI, the Vibe Coding block generates one isolated component that inherits your app's theme, data connections, and permission rules.

How is Softr different from vibe coding tools or a DIY Claude Code stack?

Vibe coding tools and DIY stacks generate code that someone then has to review, deploy, secure, and maintain for every app. Softr apps run on a tested and secure platform, so there's no need to review and maintain code. Login, user groups, record-level permissions, SSO, MFA, and audit logs are built in. Softr handles hosting, backups, and 99.9% uptime. Business teams can build on their own, within the rules IT sets, without waiting on developers.

If we connect an AI assistant over MCP, is that a second way into our data?

No. AI assistants connected over MCP act as the signed-in user, with that person's permissions and nothing more. You approve exactly what access to grant, can revoke it at any time, and app-level MCP mirrors the same user groups and record rules as the app itself.

How long does it take to build and launch an app on Softr?

Building and launching a Softr app typically takes a few hours to a few days. A simple internal tool or portal can launch within hours or days, while an app with complex data, permissions, workflows, and integrations can take longer. The timeframe depends on app scope, data readiness, integrations, and testing.
