What it is

Questions from the bench

What is Softr?

Softr is an AI app builder for creating portals and internal tools for business operations without code. The AI Co-Builder creates the database, pages, user roles, and business logic from descriptions. More than 1 million builders and 7,000 organizations build on Softr, including enterprises like Netflix, Google, Stripe, and UPS.

What can you build with Softr?

You can build CRMs, company intranets, inventory and asset trackers, custom forms, internal dashboards, and client portals. A department lead can manage the build and serve dozens to thousands of users with a single app.

Why use Softr instead of Airtable?

Softr differs from Airtable in three ways: permissions, pricing, and underlying technology. Softr's user groups control which pages, data, and actions each user can access. Softr charges by app user instead of per seat, keeping costs predictable as audience grows. Softr uses its own database and automation engine, so you are not locked into one ecosystem.

Can Softr replace manual spreadsheet and email workflows?

Yes. Softr Workflows handles approvals, reminders, onboarding steps, ticket routing, and status updates that usually run on manual email. Workflows can trigger from button clicks, form submissions, schedules, or record changes. Partners and clients can maintain their own records directly in the app, removing the need for chasing.

Is Softr secure and compliant enough for enterprise IT?

Softr is SOC 2 Type II compliant and stores all user data in Germany to support GDPR requirements. Database connections run server-side so API keys and queries never reach the browser. Apps run on tested platform components rather than generated code, so there is no custom codebase for IT to review, host, or patch. Softr keeps the underlying stack updated.
