A cost analysis calculator is an online tool that helps users evaluate and compare costs for projects, products, or services. It allows you to input relevant data, such as expenses, quantities, or timeframes, and then automatically calculates totals, savings, or other financial metrics. This makes it much easier to analyze costs, spot trends, and make informed decisions without relying on manual spreadsheets.
Softr makes it simple to build a cost analysis calculator that fits your specific process. You can connect your calculator to existing data sources, like Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets, and create an interactive tool where users can input their own numbers, view dynamic results, and even download reports—all in one place.
You don’t need any coding experience. Start with a template or build from the ground up, customize the layout and formulas, control who can access your calculator, and brand it to match your organization. It’s quick to set up, easy to maintain, and flexible enough to handle your evolving cost analysis needs.
You can add a variety of features to your cost analysis calculator, depending on your workflow. Some of the most common include:
\- User logins – so each person can save or revisit their calculations
\- Custom dashboards – to display key metrics, comparison charts, or summary tables
\- Forms – for entering cost details, project inputs, or scenario variables
\- File uploads – so users can attach supporting documents, invoices, or receipts
\- Real-time calculations – to instantly update totals and outputs as data changes
\- Search and filters – to help users find previous calculations or specific data sets
\- Detail views – to break down cost components or provide additional insights
\- Download or export options – for users to save analysis reports as PDFs or spreadsheets
\- Permissions and roles – so only authorized users can access sensitive cost data
All features are built using Softr’s drag-and-drop editor, making it easy to add or update capabilities as your analysis needs change.
No coding is needed. You can build your cost analysis calculator entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from calculation logic to data connections and user permissions can be set up without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple clients or teams within a single cost analysis calculator. Each user will only see the calculations and data that are assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is especially helpful if you’re tracking cost analyses for different departments or projects under one roof.
Softr supports a broad range of data sources that you can use with your cost analysis calculator. You can connect Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also connect to other sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to one type of data. You can integrate multiple sources at once and display them side by side, so your cost analysis calculator can combine data from different platforms. Most sources offer real-time, two-way sync, so updates in your calculator or the original data source stay synced automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users interact with your cost analysis calculator. You can tailor the layout, navigation, and content to fit your team’s workflow and branding. Each page or calculator section can be shown or hidden based on who is logged in, so every user sees only the analyses and data relevant to them.
You can also define different roles—such as manager, analyst, or viewer—and specify what each can access or edit. For example, some users might only view cost reports, while others can input or adjust data. You can also personalize data views based on the logged-in user, which is especially helpful when your calculator serves multiple teams or projects. This keeps the experience secure, streamlined, and tailored to each user.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to have your data in another platform to start using Softr for your cost analysis calculator. If you’re starting fresh, you can use Softr Databases, which are built right into the platform and integrate seamlessly with your calculator setup.
If you do already have data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. There’s also a REST API connector for other data sources. This means you have complete control over how your cost data is structured and displayed in your calculator.
Yes, you can fully white-label your cost analysis calculator in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the calculator feel like a natural extension of your organization. You can also remove all Softr branding, so users only see your company’s identity throughout the experience.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you plenty of flexibility to control the design and layout of your cost analysis calculator. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and the overall page structure to match your brand. You can also decide how each page is organized, choose which blocks go where, and set what different users see when they interact with the calculator.
To display your data and results, you can add different types of blocks depending on your needs:
\- Table blocks – to show itemized breakdowns or comparisons
\- Charts – to visualize cost trends or summaries
\- Forms – for data entry or user inputs
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight key findings or recommendations
\- Detail View – to show in-depth analysis for a specific scenario
If your requirements or design needs change, it’s easy to go back and make updates right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your calculator is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have full control over who can access and interact with your cost analysis calculator. Role-based permissions, user management within your data source, visibility rules, and global restrictions help protect any sensitive or proprietary data.
If your calculator connects to external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it simply displays it in real time based on your access settings. You’re always in control of your data and who can view or edit it.
Softr also follows industry-standard best practices for authentication, access control, and continuous monitoring to keep your information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one app with up to 10 app users and 2 user groups, and includes support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
If your calculator needs to support more users or requires advanced functionality, here’s how the paid plans compare: <https://softr.io/pricing>

What sets Softr apart is how quickly you can go from an idea to a working calculator, and how seamlessly it connects with your existing data.
Unlike some no-code tools that focus on mobile apps (like Glide) or are more developer-oriented (like Retool), Softr is built for non-technical teams who want control over layout, user experience, and permissions. You can build on top of real-time data from tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create secure, branded calculators that your users can access.
Everything is visually customizable—from content and design to user access. Plus, Softr includes features like user roles, forms, conditional logic, and API support out of the box, so you don’t need to rely on multiple tools to launch a polished solution.
Yes. Softr supports a wide range of integrations so you can connect your cost analysis calculator to the rest of your workflow. You can automate actions using tools like Zapier, Make, and N8N, or integrate directly with services for data sync, notifications, or reporting. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for advanced automation needs.
Whether you want to trigger automations based on calculator results, export data to another system, or display information from other tools, you can build it all into your calculator—no coding required.
