Why do companies choose Softr over Planhat?

Planhat, a customer success platform for managing customer relationships and reducing churn, is excellent at helping users see, understand, and share crucial customer insights. However, unlike Softr, it's not the best option for organizations in need of a custom, professional dashboard for clients. Softr, on the other hand, is a no-code app builder. Just like with Lego, you can use its blocks to build any type of application, including a portal for clients to see relevant data, shared documents, and interact with you in a structured way.

Softr vs. Planhat

Softr and Planhat can both be used to create client dashboards. However, Planhat’s solution is much more focused on mining and analyzing customer insights to help organizations reduce churn and provide optimal customer journeys.

Our awesome features

β€œI wanted a way to quickly prototype an idea that I had that required interaction between internal staff and external clients through a web portal. The ease of use of the system allowed me to quickly piece it together, and not make it look like someone from kindergarten had made this. Clean, professional, and one of the simplest no-code solutions that I have come across, and I have tried multiple in order to find one that was right for me.” 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

6 features that make Softr better than Planhat

Softr is the best option for organizations in need of a professional client portal that’s easy to use, highly customizable, and has lots of educational content to help clients get comfortable.

Ease of use

Though Planhat is no-code, customers report difficulty understanding and implementing all of the functions that the platform has to offer. Softr’s client portal, on the other hand, can be built with building blocks, just like Legos.

Apps built at warped speed

Planhat is difficult to set up and ranks much lower than competitors when it comes to ease of set-up. Softr, however, outranks competitors in this category, making it a true no-code, easy-to-use tool.

Personalized portals

Softr offers virtually limitless customization options when it comes to building a client-facing portal. From creating granular permissions to utilizing pre-built blocks, organizations can build a one-of-a-kind client portal that’s tailored to their needs.

The most dashing of dashboards

Users note that Planhat’s customer health insights are incredibly helpful to the success of their businesses, but their client portal and dashboard capabilities are a bit lacking. With Softr, organizations can create a portal that both impresses and streamlines communication and collaboration with clients, at the same time.
