Softr review

Softr is the business-app specialist here. Rather than a blank canvas, it builds portals, CRMs, knowledge bases and inventory tools on top of its own database, with workflows, forms and AI agents included, and every plan, even Free, allows unlimited apps, databases, workflows, agents and forms plus the Softr API and MCP. Basic costs $19 a month on yearly billing and adds a custom domain, conditional form logic, automated database backups, 50,000 records and 2,500 workflow actions a month. Pro at $99 removes Softr branding and adds Google sign-in for app users, granular permissions, comments, custom code and API connectors. User counts split team users from client users, which helps price client portals. The AI side is lighter than the leaders: Basic includes 10 AI credits a month and Pro 50, so Softr suits structured internal tools more than open-ended app generation. Softr says over 1 million businesses use it.
