Overview

Softr is a no-code application builder that lets teams describe the app they need in plain language and get a working interface, database, and workflow back, without writing code. Founded in Berlin in 2019, the company raised a $13.5 million Series A led by FirstMark Capital as it built out the platform beyond its original client-portal focus into a broader business-app builder.

The platform's AI layer, positioned as "the first AI platform for business apps," handles interface generation, database structure, and workflow logic from a single natural-language brief, then lets teams keep iterating either through further AI prompts or direct visual editing. Built-in AI agents can run on autopilot against a connected database, and the platform integrates model access from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini rather than locking users into one provider.

Softr is aimed at teams that need internal tools, client-facing portals, and dashboards without hiring engineering resources for every request. Pricing runs Free for up to 10 users, Basic at $49 per month, Professional at $139 per month for companies building portals and internal tools, and Business at $269 per month for larger deployments requiring unlimited user groups and higher usage limits.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Genuine free tier makes it possible to build and test a real app before paying
  • Multi-model AI support avoids dependence on a single AI vendor's pricing or availability
  • Well-funded and established in the no-code space since 2019, reducing platform-risk concerns
  • Combines AI generation with a visual editor rather than forcing an all-or-nothing AI workflow

Cons

  • AI credits are capped per plan, so heavy AI usage can require an upgrade beyond the listed tier price
  • Professional and Business tiers add meaningful cost for teams that outgrow the Basic plan
  • Best suited to structured business apps rather than highly custom or performance-sensitive software
  • Like most no-code platforms, complex logic eventually runs into the limits of the visual builder
