What is Softr?
Softr AI App Generator (AI Co-Builder) is a no-code platform that builds functional business applications from a single prompt. It generates complete apps including the UI/design, database with proper fields and relationships, and business logic for user actions, permissions, and workflows. The tool creates production-ready software for client portals, internal tools, CRMs, inventory management, dashboards, company intranets, membership platforms, directories, and ERP systems without requiring any coding knowledge.
Key features include dual-mode editing (switch between AI generation and visual editing anytime), purpose-built flexible blocks like lists, grids, charts, calendars, and forms, plus a vibe coding block for custom components. The platform offers built-in login/authentication with email/password, magic link, Google, or SSO support, custom user groups with advanced permissions, and enterprise-grade security including SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance. Softr integrates with 30+ data sources including Airtable, Notion, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Supabase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and REST API, plus automation tools like Zapier, Make, and n8n.
Softr is designed for non-technical users, business teams, makers, startups, and companies of all sizes from local businesses to Fortune 500 companies. It's ideal for teams who want to build custom software that fits their exact workflows without developer handoff, overspending on unused software features, or dealing with black-box AI solutions. Over 1 million teams worldwide use Softr, with customers reporting 70% reduction in administrative workload.

Frequently asked questions about Softr
Can I use my custom domain on the Free plan?
Yes, you can connect your custom domain or subdomain on all plans including the Free plan. You get 1 custom domain included, and extra custom domains are available for $13/month on Basic, Professional, and Business plans.
What happens if I run out of AI credits during the month?
AI features will pause but you won't be charged. They automatically resume when your credits renew at the start of your next billing cycle, or you can purchase a credit add-on subscription to continue using AI right away. Credit add-ons are available on paid plans and unused add-on credits roll over for up to 1 month.
Can I export my Softr app to use elsewhere?
No, Softr apps are built to run on the Softr platform and it's not possible to export them. The app, database, and workflows all run within Softr's infrastructure.
What type of web-apps can I build on Softr?
You can build client portals, internal tools, membership apps, CRMs, inventory management systems, company intranets, dashboards & reporting tools, ERP systems, knowledge management platforms, directories, project trackers, and custom business applications that have outgrown spreadsheets.
Who counts as an App User?
App users are the people who sign in and use your published app. This includes both internal team members and external clients or customers. Unlimited visitors can view public pages, but anyone who needs to sign in counts toward your app user limit.
Is Softr GDPR compliant?
Yes, Softr is GDPR compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified. The platform enforces robust server-side security rules automatically and offers enterprise-grade security features including audit logging on the Enterprise plan.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription anytime in your account. Once canceled, you will not be charged the next month but will continue to have access to your account until your current subscription expires. However, Softr does not issue full or partial refunds.
What is the difference between an App Builder and an App User?
App Builders are people who create and edit apps in the Softr Studio - you get unlimited collaborators/builders on all plans. App Users are people who sign in and use your published app, and they count toward your plan's user limit (10 on Free, 20 on Basic, 100 on Professional, 500 on Business).
Do you offer discounts for non-profits or educational institutions?
Yes, Softr offers a 30% discount for non-profits and educational institutions. You need to contact Softr to apply for this discount.
