Softr: client portals and apps without code, built on your data

Softr is a no-code platform to build web apps from your data. You connect an Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion or Supabase base (or use Softr's built-in database), assemble visual blocks, and you get a client portal, a member area, an internal tool or a directory, with user accounts and permissions. The core idea: each user who logs in only sees what concerns them, without you writing a line of code. An AI co-builder can even draft a first version from a description.

Freelancers who already keep their data in a spreadsheet or in Airtable and want to expose it properly: a consultant giving each client a tracking portal, a trainer opening a member area, a no-code freelancer building internal tools for clients. If you mostly want a showcase site or a portfolio with a crafted design, Webflow or Framer are a better fit. If you want total layout freedom on a real application, look at WeWeb. And for a simple mobile app, Glide plays on the same field.

• A client portal: each client logs in and finds their projects, documents and invoices, pulled from your Airtable or your Google Sheet.
• Internal tools: light CRM, order tracking, dashboard, appointment booking, with forms, lists, tables and charts.
• A member area: content reserved for registered users, login by email, OTP or Google (Pro plan).
• Automations: workflows triggered by a user action, with a monthly action quota depending on the plan.
• An installable app: progressive web app (PWA) and push notifications with the Business plan.
• Your domain: custom domain from the Basic plan, Softr logo removal from the Pro plan.

• Free: $0, forever. 3 builders, 5 app users, 5,000 records, 500 workflow actions per month, 5 AI credits.
• Basic: $19 per month. Custom domain, conditional form logic, automated database backup, 1 builder included ($5 per extra builder), 5 team users and 5 client users, 2,500 actions per month.
• Pro: $99 per month. Softr logo removal, OTP and Google sign-in, granular permissions, comments, custom code and API connectors, 2 builders included ($10 per extra builder), 10 team users and 50 client users, 10,000 actions per month.
• Business: $329 per month. Two-factor authentication, domain-restricted signup, installable app, push notifications, priority support, 3 builders included ($20 per extra builder), 30 team users and 100 client users, 25,000 actions per month.
• Enterprise: on quote, with SSO, SCIM and audit logs.

Yearly billing gives two months off. An extra custom domain costs $15 per month ($13 on yearly billing). Free trial of paid features without credit card. Prices checked on softr.io in November 2026.

At FreelanceKit, we picked Softr because it is the most direct tool to turn an Airtable or a Google Sheet into a presentable client portal. For a freelancer, a space where the client follows their project's progress themselves means fewer follow-up emails and a more professional image, with no developer. The free plan and the trial without card let you validate the idea before paying.

The weak point to know: the step between Basic and Pro. At $19 per month, you get your domain but keep the Softr logo, five client users and no Google sign-in. For a real client portal, you almost always need Pro at $99 per month, which changes the math. And the design stays within Softr's blocks: clean, but recognizable, far from the freedom of a Webflow.
