Softr turns a database into a web app with authentication and permissions, which makes it the fastest route to a client portal or a simple member area. It connects to Airtable, Google Sheets, and Supabase. The component library is opinionated in a helpful way.
Who it is for
An agency building a client portal over an existing Airtable base without writing a backend.
Key features
- Client portals on Airtable, Sheets, or Supabase
- User authentication and access rules
- Gated content by user group
- Stripe payments and member areas
- Custom domain on paid plans
- Free tier caps users and pages
Where it falls short
It is a presentation layer, so complex logic has to live in the underlying database, and the free tier caps users and pages.
Pricing
Free tier caps users and pages with Softr branding; paid plans start around $24 a month, and the gate is the number of app users rather than editors.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Softr.
