β€œBuilding native or low-code apps is expensive, time-consuming and laborious, especially if we have to scratch them and start over post customer feedback. Softr has helped us save months of development and thousands of dollars.” 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A free plan beyond all others

Softr’s free plan, compared to competitors, offers access to the essentials, including building blocks like lists, tables, and forms, plus great support and documentation. Appsmith’s free plan, on the other hand, doesn’t offer data-sourcing or live chat support and only offers limited access controls.

No-code, no problem

Very few app builders are truly no-code. Softr, which can be used by anyone, whether they know how to code or not, is designed to help organizations do more, in less time. Appsmith, unlike Softr, requires some knowledge of code in order to take advantage of all the tool has to offer.

Integrations that inspire

Softr offers a whole lot of integrations, from Google apps and Calendly to Mailchimp and Hotjar. While other competitors like Appsmith offer integrations too, they’re quite limited, forcing users to leave behind some of their most beloved tools.

Templates that save time

Softr offers pre-built templates for virtually any business need, so organizations can hit the ground running: inventory management, investor portal, project tracker, and so much more. Platforms like Appsmith offer templates too, but not quite as many.
