Customer focused tech
Overall, Softr is doing the right things in adding features that the community is asking for. Every time I have had a question or needed help with something, the Softr team has been quick to assist with meaningful replies to solve the issue.
PROS- The best feature is the live read and write to your Airtable database. - Very user friendly - Great customer support
CONS- the learning curve may be difficult for a newbie. - sometimes autosave gets confused when making updates to your app.
Reason for choosing Softr
Better and more flexible pricing model. More features with regards to live sync with Airtable
Reasons for switching to Softr

It's THE BEST No-Code Web/App Builder right now!
- I was able to build my site prototype and main website within a week after taking feedback from others. - Ticks all the necessary checkboxes.
PROS- Product is sadistically simple to use. - The plug n' play content blocks available within the dashboard save a ton of time conceptualising a website experience. - Small thing, but they way CTA buttons just magically adjust to the size of text is a superstar feature. - if you're a marketer or entrepreneur, Softr helps you get your MVP up and running super fast. - Biggest of them all, it reduces dependency on the multiple teams required to build you a website.
CONS- Now that they've made desktop so easy, begs the question - How CAN THIS HAPPEN FOR MOBILE TOO? Maybe we're asking for too much but if Softr achieves this seamlessness for mobile devices, it would render so many other apps useless! - Maybe consider adding a place where we can source and customise illustrations as well.
Reasons for switching to Softr
Simplicity and standardization of website blocks that helps you focus on what's necessary rather than making it all flamboyant.

Build apps quickly and efficiently
Love using Softr to get a web-app up and running quickly. It's easy to connect with airtable where a good chunk of our backend sits. So far no complaints!
PROS- quick and easy app set up - test mvps with ease - allow internal and external stakeholders to provide feedback quickly - cheap vs. hiring a dev team to build from scratch
CONS- limited flexibility of the blocks themselves - not a ton of customization in the context of no-code - automation integration would be a huge plus

Great to build, but bad support
This company offers an excellent platform for developing a low-code, Minimum Viable Product (MVP), a basic marketplace, dynamic website, or portal.
CONSTheir support services leave much to be desired. I have encountered technical issues that take weeks to resolve, frequently leaving me without updates for days. Furthermore, there was a critical instance where their entire platform was inaccessible during a crucial period of my business operations, resulting in my website being inaccessible. As a consequence, I missed out on opportunities for my customers to access my services.

Softr
I can't say Softr is the best website builder out there, but at the moment it's the one that best integrates with Airtable. For my use case with landing pages and Airtable and little visual and functional improvisations here and there, it works fine. Softr however recently raised money and I'm sure in the next few months it is going to improve a lot on the platform in terms of functionality and performance.
PROSThe Simplicity of creating a website, deploying, and making updates in real-time. This is all very smooth. I use Softr for making landing pages that are sent to specific user groups in my Airtable. Softr working smoothly with Airtable makes this a piece of cake for me.
CONSSoftr comes with pre-built blocks, and it's impossible to add additional functions to these blocks. You will find yourself improvising a lot with blocks to make up for its shortcomings in functionality. You may want to add a button within a "Hero block" to have two buttons leading to different parts of your website, but the block has one button and that's it! There's no way around it basically! It can be very frustrating but I guess that comes with most site-builders.
Reason for choosing Softr
Softr integrates with Airtable better than any product out there at the moment. You can access all views, filters, and conditions you can have in a base on Airtable and implement it on your Softr Website.

Softr 10x my internally tooling speed
Im building internal tools for my team and also prototyping customer facing features.
PROSSoftr is easier to use, more features, looks heaps better and is a fraction of the cost compared with other no-code Airtable development apps. Its insane
CONSits a hard one. but if I had to pick on anything, i would say their docs can use a little work.
Reason for choosing Softr
Softr is 100x better and more affordable than Stackerhq and it's so much easier to use than Webflow and Bubble.

A good balance between functionality and ease of use in a no-code product
I got a fully function and relatively complex user front-end for our Airtable data fully built and configured within a couple days with zero coding, that's just incredible!
PROSFlexible enough to design almost all front end interfaces you'd need for your data to be accessed by external users
CONSThere are still few rough edges, but as it's a new and fast growing company I expect they will be ironed out
Reason for choosing Softr
See above.
Reasons for switching to Softr
Stacker is far more limited and restricted in how you are able to present and display your Airtable data, and significantly more expensive.

Most Amazing No Code Builder
I am a sales person by nature and hence always afraid of using coding. However, I have some ideas in mind that I need to test in the market. I approached several developers and problem with them is that either they quote you too high and don't give good support. I also approached some other no code platforms but the complexities and learning curve were huge. Then I discovered Softr. I am building two products using Softr and these are going to be my full product instead of just MVP because I don't have the fear of failure with Softr. Thanks Softr for making my life easy.
PROSEase of use, zero learning curve, excellent support, pocket friendly pricing,
CONSNothing as of now. However, there are few things missing but these are in roadmap. So can wait for those without any issue.
Reasons for switching to Softr
huge learning curve in no coding tools, little bit of costly and very poor support from coders for coding platforms.

Simple to work with, good features and excited to see what else is to come!
Great, looking forward to growing with them as we grow our business. We have a complete custom consumer facing website and softr is proving to be perfect for our client side.
PROSWe were able to build a client portal with integrated payments and interesting features within a couple of weeks. If you already had branding and content then you could cut that down to a day its that easy to work with. I had a fair few questions for support as I went along and they got us to where we needed to be which was really helpful. Love the stripe integration. This is like 1 billion times more user friendly than bubble.
CONSSome of the moveable boxes are tough to click on without the software trying to move them (reorder), so it can take a fair few clicks to get on a page (Chrome/Mac). Although clients can subscribe through stripe (awesome), they still can't see their billing info, but that is on the roadmap so that will be a huge asset. Looking forward to a lot more video content from creators on tips and tricks.

The Perfect No Code Front End for your No Code Back End!
Overall this is the best No Code Front end website builder for your No Code Airtable Backend.
PROSIf you remove the fact that it solves the number one problem I have with AirTable, and that my entire trucking company uses the website I built with Softr.io, the team at Softr.io has insanely rapid new feature/functionality deployment and borderline instant customer service response time.
CONSWhen I first started using Softr.io it was very limited on functionality, however the whole No Code movement was new and so there was lack of support and resources on all software. Even though there were other option to choose from, I'm glad I went with Softr.io because they have really started develop fantastic tools.

The best and most convenient tool for making tools
One of the most straightforward no-code solutions I have found that is tidy, professional, and fits my needs out of the many I have tested. Creating unique tools and procedures is a great way to avoid utilising several, pricey off-the-shelf tools. I don't need to write any code in order to build specialised user portals for my customers.
PROSIn roughly the same amount of time it takes to watch a YouTube tutorial from another no-code provider, Softr gives you the ability to quickly put together an application. With many advanced use cases, they are quick to deploy, simple to use, and still have a good learning curve. In terms of the support I've received on Softr, despite using hundreds of SaaS platforms and products, none of them even come close. If you're working with Airtable and want to create a front-end connection to it, look no further than Softr.
CONSSeveral of the design components don't function properly. Several of the blocks I utilise for the desktop version are not particularly well optimised for mobile. There are certain functional and aesthetic restrictions, but in the little time I've been using it, they've incorporated regular updates and enhancements to make the user experience better.

Fast MVP development with Airtable (display & editing user information)
well, It saved my life as I need to get a new version of an existing app within a couple of weeks! And we did it! It's worth mentionning customer support (thanks [SENSITIVE CONTENT]!): (1) extremely reactive: within minutes, one hour at most, (2) and always very helpful, sometimes even hands on fixing issues I run into. Really thank u!!
PROSSoftr works hand in hand with Airtable. With these tools combined we build product that allows clients to submit requests online and follow their status in real time. It enable effortlessly to enable editing on part (or all) of the data in Airtable, and to manage access to that data.
CONSSoftr works with predesigned blocks. So implementing your product will be very fast but a bit constrained by the existing design. You can however rely on custom code to add a few blocks or features as needed.
Reason for choosing Softr
pory is still early stage and didn't have all the features we were looking for. It is cheaper though.
Reasons for switching to Softr
We had two constrains: (1) we wanted a single source of truth: all of the data in airtable. (2) we anted to allow users to edit their data seamlessly. With webflow it became obvious that we would need to go through its CMS or we would have to implement all of the API logic ourselves. We struggled a while, and eventually made the switch. Webflow will remain our landing page though (because, let's face it, we can build beautiful pages with webflow) ; but for the app part, we switched to softr.

Incredible site builder and front-end for your Airtable data!
I've seen a lot of no-code tools. Softr gives me the best of both worlds... It's a drag-and-drop builder with built-in templates for each section of a website (similar to a customizable Wordpress template), yet all the capabilities for displaying data in multiple ways are incredible.
PROSThe design capabilities are incredible. I'm usually a 'template' girl, but the drag-and-drop blocks are so easy-to-use and versatile. The design capabilities are endless! There are so many ways to display data - it's incredible. This is my tool from now on and will eventually replace Wordpress for me.
CONSThere was a learning curve for me using and configuring Airtable so I could display the data... (configuring columns and rows or creating formulas to turn 1 row into multiple columns, so I could display data properly.) I'm looking forward to upgraded forms with conditional logic and upgraded tables.
Reason for choosing Softr
Bubble was too complicated to learn and I don't like having a 'blank slate.' The most functional template I could find was too much of a pain to use...
Reasons for switching to Softr
My Adalo app didn't have NEAR the capabilities of my Softr build. I was simply using Quizitri quizzes and webviews...

Very good product to quickly create apps and website
Great software to work with, very good value/price ratio. Very easy to learn and integrate with other tools (Airtable, Stripe). The support team is super reactive and helpful.
PROSIt helped me build an MVP in a matter of hours, I only invested a small amount of time. The native Airtable integration is a killer feature compared to many other website/app builders. The user management is awesome as well, as this really gave me the opportunity to create a different app for my 2 types of users.
CONSThere could be improvement on the UX of the product, as some times this not really easy to navigate into the different pages of your app.
Reason for choosing Softr

First time app developer, I love Softr
Softr is intuitive for a non-coder to be able to get up and running quickly with an app that can be customized. The integration with Airtable is amazing. I have lots of experience with building a Squarespace site, which allowed me to be familiar with blocks and adding little bits of custom code, which was helpful but not necessary. Softr has opened up a world of possibilities for creating a front-end interface for my team, my clients, and my partners. It will take time to build it all out but the end product I envision will provide my company with improved tools with a designed interface instead of spreadsheets and databases.
CONSThe limitation to Softr is the speed with which they are able to create new blocks that can be used to drop in. The Softr team works incredibly fast so it's hard to complain, but more blocks would be helpful for continued customization of my own tools and apps.
