Overall this is the best No Code Front end website builder for your No Code Airtable Backend.

The Perfect No Code Front End for your No Code Back End!

The product, team, and mission are going to leave a mark on the industry, and our company is better off because of it.

Fast, simple, powerful website building

I've seen a lot of no-code tools. Softr gives me the best of both worlds... It's a drag-and-drop builder with built-in templates for each section of a website (similar to a customizable Wordpress template), yet all the capabilities for displaying data in multiple ways are incredible. 

Incredible site builder and front-end for your Airtable data!

I build apps and websites with my team for internal and public projects.

Great app to quickly create Websites with Databases

Softr must be your first no-code tool option for your MVP

I can't say Softr is the best website builder out there, but at the moment it's the one that best integrates with Airtable. For my use case with landing pages and Airtable and little visual and functional improvisations here and there, it works fine. Softr however recently raised money and I'm sure in the next few months it is going to improve a lot on the platform in terms of functionality and performance.

Softr

I think it's great. I use it with Airtable to build internal platforms for my company. I can see already that the possibilities are endless and once you have a tiny bit of knowledge about it it's easy to build on that. The community and support is great too.

I love it!

Great software to work with, very good value/price ratio.
Very easy to learn and integrate with other tools (Airtable, Stripe).
The support team is super reactive and helpful.

Very good product to quickly create apps and website

Overall, Softr is doing the right things in adding features that the community is asking for.  Every time I have had a question or needed help with something, the Softr team has been quick to assist with meaningful replies to solve the issue.

Customer focused tech

Love using Softr to get a web-app up and running quickly. It's easy to connect with airtable where a good chunk of our backend sits. So far no complaints!

Build apps quickly and efficiently

We are setting up several tools, so businesses can first find out if the app or website will work. Because you are able to set this up quite quick, the cost for this is low for companies. 

Softr is easy to use and lightning fast

It is hands-down the easiest way to start and test a marketplace.

Best tool to get going in the no-code space

I build 2 things with softr. 

- Course selling Platform
- Host & Refugees matching platform 

SOFTR is something special 

well, It saved my life as I need to get a new version of an existing app within a couple of weeks! And we did it!

It's worth mentionning customer support (thanks [SENSITIVE CONTENT]!):
(1) extremely reactive: within minutes, one hour at most, 
(2) and always very helpful, sometimes even hands on fixing issues I run into. 
Really thank u!!

Fast MVP development with Airtable (display & editing user information)

Softr makes nocode accessible

First time app developer, I love Softr

IBM Design Thinking Internship

It is user-friendly and sounds a great alternative for prototyping. The customer service is very good too.

Business Implementation Consultant

The ability to bring Balsamiq work into Indigo is a huge plus. Also the ability to have features and animation abilities that are very easy to configure.

Direct Support Specialist

It's a very cost-efficient option that comes with amazing depth and variety. The interface is also very user friendly and simple to use.

Digital Designer

The good things in there are so many, but most of all I liked how easy is to provide lots of info into one exercise and make sure you always complete tasks when needed.

Director

It "kills" itself sometimes somehow. Poor functionality/elements for designing/prototyping for responsive designs.

Designer

I liked it very much, very user friendly and easy to share and gather feedback.

Consultant

Overall I think the experience is pretty good, the learning curve is normal and easy to learn it in a short time and integrate with the existing process.

Senior UI/UX Designer

The customizability of this product is very limited. We're not able to customize the design of premade components and their theme is very limited.

UX-strategist

My biggest concerne is with performance. It is painfully slow to work with and that is the main reason we abandoned it in my consultancy.

UX Designer

Customer support is awesome. Here is a company that really listens to users and develops features we really need and use.

Software Engineer

It provides an easy way to integrate with a sketch that's what I really love about. Also, it comes up with the new feature of creating usability study.

Pretty good/Easy to use/Provide tons of useful information.

UI Designer

I loved the concept and as a UI designer, I know it's going to make a lot of lives easier in product teams.

Solution Architect

Can also use to test ideas and alternative views/implementations. Most importantly things like buttons etc can take you to other views/screens/pages - so can get the real flow of an application.

When you are doing the usability test on mobile it is hard to find the task during the test if you have forgotten what exactly you have to do.

Student

Easy to use, simple design, but also looks cool.

We use the product because its pretty quick to produce a prototype. Looking forward to the new code generation feature for Blazor.

Project got shelved in the meantime due to other business opportunities, but minimal costs.

Very easy to use and great that you don't have to focus so much on layout like in other no-code tools. Connection with Airtable makes the tool extremely useful.

Business Developer

The ease of use of Softr is impressive and this comes together with a great time to value. You will be able to build a simple landing page in minutes, and an MVP in hours.

Marketing & Communications Mng.

They helped me with an http and https problem, they answered me at all hours, they were always AND I SAY ALWAYS nice. Super fast, super helpful.

Co-founder

I had a fair few questions for support as I went along and they got us to where we needed to be which was really helpful. Love the stripe integration.

Chief of Staff

Easy to use and great customer success team that helps you every step of the way. Very useful templates to get you started.

Founder

Overall, I'm really happy I switched to Softr.io. The team are helpful and the simplicity is so good.

Great, looking forward to growing with them as we grow our business. We have a complete custom consumer facing website and softr is proving to be perfect for our client side.

Tech Lead 

I have a pleasant overall experience and I have successfully completed my POC. I feel it has sufficient features to support my backend portal application.

Owner / CTO

When I first started using Softr.io it was very limited on functionality, however the whole No Code movement was new and so there was lack of support and resources on all software.

Softr gives me the ability to effortlessly make a prototype and MVP very rapidly so it fits the lean startup way. In addition, what I love is their customer support team.

Co founder

The user management is awesome as well, as this really gave me the opportunity to create a different app for my 2 types of users.

Head of Operations 

The customer support is great. I'm a complete beginner and they're always there to help me and answer by basic level questions.

Head of Marketing

The learning curve may be difficult for a newbie. Sometimes autosave gets confused when making updates to your app.

Manager

I had trouble getting the user edit feature to work, but that was because I hadn't set permissions in the settings.

product owner

The native integration with Airtable and the front-end interface make so easy the implementation. For b2c startups the app has a login that make feel the user like they are in a real app.

Maybe we're asking for too much but if Softr achieves this seamlessness for mobile devices, it would render so many other apps useless.

Softr is easier to use, more features, looks heaps better and is a fraction of the cost compared with other no-code Airtable development apps.

Technical Team Lead

Creating unique tools and procedures is a great way to avoid utilising several, pricey off-the-shelf tools. I don't need to write any code in order to build specialised user portals for my customers.
