Softr vs. AppSheet

Appsheet is loved for its seamless integration with other popular Google tools. Like Appsheet, Softr offers a wide range of integrations β€” from email marketing tools to advertising features β€” plus so much more. Softr’s easy-to-use interface, high-quality customer support, and true no-code experience tend to win over customers in the long run β€” even if they’re long-time Google fans.

6 reasons why people pick Softr over AppSheet

Even though Appsheet can feel like a quick win for Google Sheets users who need a quick custom app, Appsheet lacks some core functionalities other no-code builders like Softr have. Softr fans swoon over the capability of using multiple data sources in one app, not just Google Sheets, sleek and simple UX, quick and easy set-up and launch of apps, and efficient customer support designed to help anyone (developers or not!) launch their digital product blazingly fast.

App building without limits

Softr’s builder is way more flexible than Appsheet’s, from the components you can use to how they are connected to each other. This is why many organizations β€” from small corner shops to giant tech companies β€” use Softr to build tailor-made portals, directories, and internal tools of any kind.

Building that doesn’t break the bank

Appsheet’s pricing scales linearly with the number of active users (i.e., anyone who opens your apps in the course of 30 days). This price tag grows pretty quickly and uncontrollably. This is why Softr’s pricing plans give you more users at a lower cost and more flexibility. Even Softr's free plan gives you unlimited applications, 100 external users, and a handful of other essential tools to get started.

A truly fast and intuitive experience

Softr is considered the easiest and most intuitive no-code builder. Appsheet, on the other hand, ranks below the average ease of use score on G2. Lots of users prefer and leverage Softr's usability and straightforward builder to build fully-fledged applications in less than an hour.

Superb support

Softr’s customer support β€” thanks to a 24/7 chat option and detailed documentation β€” is beloved by customers. On top of that, paying customers get onboarding calls, dedicated success managers, and more.

Interfaces that impress

For organizations looking to build external apps like client portals, sleek and functional UI is essential. With Softr, customers can build apps, and portals (among other things) that impress and delight customers. Compared to competitors like Appsheet β€” which users note has outdated UI β€” Softr is perfect for creating professional, impressive products.

Go beyond Google Sheets

Google Sheets is a fantastic product, but there are many reasons why you might want to use more robust database solutions like Airtable. Softr allows you to use data from either or both products in the same application, making it easy to mix and match data based on your needs.
