"Easy to Use, Helpful AI, and Seamless Google Docs & Airtable Integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Softr?

It’s reasonably easy to use, and the AI is very helpful. Even the free version already gives you a lot of features, but I’m sure I’ll move to the paid platform when the time comes. It also integrates very easily with Google Docs and Airtable, for instance. I’ve only had to use their support chat once, but the response was very fast and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Softr?

When I use the free version, the SoftR label is very prominent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless MVP Creation for Non-Coders"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Softr?

What I like most about Softr is how approachable it is as a true no-code tool. I’m not a developer, but I was able to understand the interface quickly and start building a functional MVP without feeling overwhelmed. The page builder is intuitive, the blocks are clearly labeled, and the logic behind connecting data sources makes sense even if you don’t have a technical background.

I personally use Softr to build web apps and internal tools on top of Airtable, and the integration between the two is one of the biggest strengths. Connecting a table, mapping fields, setting up list views, detail pages, and basic user permissions felt very natural. I was honestly surprised by how much I was able to build in a single night - login, gated content, dynamic lists, and a clean front-end - without writing a single line of code.

I also appreciate how quickly you can iterate. If I want to change a layout, adjust visibility rules, or tweak styling, I can do it in minutes and immediately see the result. That speed is huge for validating ideas and building MVPs without sinking weeks into development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Softr?

One challenge I’ve run into is that you can’t easily preview or explore your full database directly inside Softr, which means I still have to jump back into Airtable pretty often to understand or troubleshoot data issues. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it can slow things down when you’re iterating quickly.

Another issue I’ve noticed is related to documentation and AI support. I often use ChatGPT to help me think through logic, conditions, or layout ideas, but Softr has evolved quickly. The interface headings and section names have changed over time (for example: Source, Content, Actions, Styles, and Visibility), and some AI-generated guidance can be slightly out of date. Once I explicitly tell ChatGPT which Softr UI labels I’m seeing, it adjusts and works fine — but it’s something new users should be aware of.

Overall, these are more workflow friction points than major problems, but better in-app data visibility and always-up-to-date docs would make the experience even smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid Tool for Client Portals with AI Potential"
4/5
What do you like best about Softr?

I liked the AI feature in Softr as it helped in parts and gave me ideas. It also taught me about layout and how to set it up. The initial setup was relatively easy enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Softr?

It took me a while to learn the dialect, and I'm still unsure whether I will need to pay for the service but time will tell. It would have been a much more professional job if the AI could have been linked to the player's data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Integrations and Support, But UI Customization and Custom Code Need Work"
3/5
What do you like best about Softr?

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.

What do you dislike about Softr?

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.

"Highly Customizable with Easy Setup, Minor Database Limitations"
5/5
What do you like best about Softr?

I love how Softr allows me to store all my data and create user login options, showing each user their relevant information. The design is very customizable and sleek, which gives it a professional appearance. I appreciate the abundance of automations and AI helpers packed within the software. The initial setup was also very easy for me and my team. I'm also impressed that they are adding new features regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Softr?

The database is limited in terms of quantity. I feel it could improve by having bigger databases without asking for custom pricing, similar to Airtable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Client Portals with Softr"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Softr?

I love that Softr integrates seamlessly with Airtable, or really any data source, which makes it super easy to configure. The internal video courses and tutorials are very helpful, especially since there's a bit of a learning curve. But once you figure out the functionality, it's pretty fun to build on top of the data you already have. The Client Portal course has taught me a lot about Softr, in general, so I feel like I'll have a better understanding of it for future apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Softr?

There were a couple things with the data not syncing to the custom user groups, but I'm not sure if that was on Airtable's side or on Softr's side. But I was able to figure it out by just deleting the data in Airtable and entering it again. Also, it does require a little bit of patience and a learning curve, so it might not be something that everybody wants to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable Front-End Solutions with Minimal Setup Hassle"
5/5
What do you like best about Softr?

I would say, first, the customization that I can do for each of my clients based on their style is great. With Softr, I can easily share and control all the elements I use and customize things like font style and colors for my clients. That's a big advantage for me because it means I can tailor solutions to each client's needs, especially in the ecommerce product and data analysis niche. The ability to integrate with different databases, not just Google Sheets, makes everything really fast and valuable. Also, the initial setup was really easy thanks to the Softr Academy, which I found to be a good resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Softr?

I find the filter option with Google Sheets to be really time consuming. When it comes to synchronization based on categories, Softr cannot sync all the columns as categories, so I need to type them one by one. This is especially cumbersome if I want filters based on geographic locations or if I have up to 50 categories to import. I think the integration could be better.
