“Softr is a go-to tool if you’re trying to build with no-code! It’s very easy to build products and internal tools, and it provides a lot of premade blocks and components that speed up the process.”

“I’ve been impressed with the flexility of Softr. The ability to pull data from different Airtable bases into different blocks and display them on one page was one of the main reasons I chose Softr.”
Dan Smith, Director, DS Automotive
Frequently asked questions
A resource guide or a resource directory is meant to provide a comprehensive list of resource in a specific niche. For example, people who are just getting into no-code will benefit from resource guide on various no-code tools and learning resources, where items are organized into categories (e.g. web app builders, automation, email marketing) and are easily discoverable. Some even go further and quiz their visitors on their use case and what they’re looking to build to suggest the set of tools that’s right for them (AI assistants come to help here).
If you’ve built a resource guide that provides clear value to your users, you can certainly start thinking of ways to monetize it. One of the common ways of monetizing resource guides is providing the visitors with a free sample (e.g. a few items from each category) to get a taste of the product and charging for the full database. Other monetization options include ads, a subscription-based model (makes sense if the directory is frequently updated with new entries and/or there are additional services available for paid customers), partnership with featured companies to earn affiliate commissions, and so on.
As soon as you click the Use the template button, you'll be immediately taken to Softr studio and can start working on the template. If you don't have a Softr account, you'll be prompted to register first (a Free account will work just fine).
All the Softr templates are completely free of charge and can be used with any of the Softr subscription plans. However, Free and Starter plans have a limitation on the number of application users, so you might need to consider a higher subscription plan if you need more people to have access.
