Softr Reviews & Product Details

Handles users, auth, security, domains and routing. Fun integrations such as Airtable. Some good UI components. Custom code can be powerful but tedious. Great customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI options for most components are extremely rudimentary. For example there is no way modify horizontal padding. This results in having to use custom code more often that I would like. However:

1. The DOM is built in such a way that often makes it very difficult to modify UI with custom code. Very often, I find myself having to write an entire component in custom code instead of using a native component.

2. There is no way to store secrets for custom code, meaning you will need to hardcode your secrets in the client-side code (which you shouldnt). So you are stuck between using Softr's basic components and security malpractice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like there are so many options when it comes to features, especially the number of templates. The templates in particular are incredibly helpful, as someone who's not a coding expert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times it can be hard to figure out how to do something, especially if having an issue. Customer support was amazing by the way, however, support was my only option as there was little to no troubleshooting documentation that I could find for a recent issue.

One other thing, I don't love that when I duplicate an app, that I must separately duplicate a database, as it takes an incredibly long time to reconnect a duplicated database to a newly duplicated app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Softr is how easy it is to get something real up and running fast. I’m not a developer (limited experience with javascript, css, and html), but the no-code interface is intuitive and the blocks make sense for the most part. I could build a working app in hours instead of weeks. The Airtable integration is a huge win for connecting live data and instantly seeing it reflected in the app. The templates are helpful when you’re starting from scratch, and customer support has been consistently responsive and friendly whenever I’ve gotten stuck, but has needed to escalate all the issues I've surfaced thus far. Overall, it feels like Softr is built for people who want to move quickly without overthinking everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Softr can feel limiting once you want more control. Design customization is probably my biggest frustration. You can only tweak things so much before you hit a wall, and it can be hard to get things looking exactly how you want without custom CSS. Some advanced functionality just isn’t there yet, especially for complex logic, filtering, or workflows. Performance can also dip when working with larger datasets, and a few integrations outside of Airtable feel less polished. Pricing jumps a bit faster than expected as you scale, which makes you think twice if you’re building something long-term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary reason I decided to use Softr was for it's user access management system. You can easily make groups of users based on conditions in your data base and then give each group access to specific pages based on user group. The magic link system is simple and streamlined for users that are not always adept at using computers.

In addition the connection to the data base is plug and play. Feeding data to a data base from forms is super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary improvement that I would like to see is the ability to run a custom code block that has react.js or some other styling support. There have been a couple of situation that it made more sense to write my own code for a section and the styling support is essentially vanilla css and js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Softr for its simplicity and customizability, which makes it an incredibly intuitive tool that anyone can use. Creating a sharable inventory with the community has been seamless, and I love how I can upload images and item information without needing to know how to code or create a website. The platform's ease of use exceeds my expectations, being easier than anticipated. I find tremendous value in how it allows me to build a functional website that caters to specific community needs effortlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I disliked that the Google Sheet image links didn't work properly and linking with images presented an issue initially. Although this problem was eventually resolved with help, it was an inconvenience at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it is easy to use, transfer data into it, and navigate the interface. The number of features it has is quite impressive. Also, the support database is reasonably practical, especially with options like live support, tutorials, help docs, and my favourite, AI, which helps me a lot with many issues. I also appreciate the price availability, and I hope they continue to offer a free version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, as a relatively new user, I haven't explored the software deeply enough or used it to its fullest to find anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the recent updates, Softr has gone Full stack, which makes it easy for me to build a fully functional app without having to use multiple tools. It make it easy to manage the interfaces, logic, databases and other integrations in one place. It helps reduce development time further allowing me to build apps faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't have a mobile version where I could continue building the app or manage the database. on a tablet or phone. Hoping that it will happen one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This platform is excellent for teams or individuals who lack a dedicated "tech person." Its intuitive design makes it easy to use, and the knowledge base provides helpful guidance for accomplishing any task. Honestly, I wish I had found it earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it were easier to find the knowledge base when I need assistance. The chat feature is very accessible, and the team responds quickly, but there are times when I would prefer to read about a topic on my own instead of having to speak with someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Softr incredibly easy to use, especially given my lack of experience in software development. Its user-friendly nature allows me to perform tasks effectively without feeling overwhelmed. Another aspect I appreciate about Softr is its remarkable customization capabilities, which enable me to design and implement exactly what I envision for a custom front end. The platform lets me integrate all the necessary blocks, which is invaluable for displaying specific data to clients. Furthermore, switching to Softr offered me the customization options I previously lacked with other platforms, thereby improving the adaptability of my SaaS projects. The initial setup was very straightforward, making the transition smooth and clear, further emphasizing how intuitive and approachable Softr is for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the static blocks in Softr to be problematic as they are of different widths compared to the dynamic blocks. When using both types on the same page, it disrupts the design, making it look unattractive. This limitation forces me to use only certain blocks. Additionally, although the initial setup is fairly easy, I feel that more detailed tutorials would greatly improve the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely love Softr's UX and its seamless integrations, particularly with Airtable. The platform's ability to function without requiring extensive coding experience is incredibly beneficial, allowing me to create client portals and light SaaS tools efficiently. My existing light coding knowledge is only a bonus, not a necessity, which is impressive. I am especially excited about Softr's native integration with Make/Integromat, as it opens up more possibilities for automating workflows efficiently. The ease of making connections, along with the logical processes that Make allows, enhances my productivity and the utility of the platform. The initial setup of Softr was very good, contributing to my overall positive experience. These factors collectively make me highly likely to recommend Softr, as reflected in my score of 10 out of 10 for recommending it to friends or colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the filtering capabilities for view accessibility lacking in Softr. It would be beneficial to have more robust filtering options to enhance how views are accessed and utilized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
