Frequently asked questions
Can I use Softr instead of Airtable?
Yes. Softr has its own native database, so you don't need Airtable at all if you'd rather keep everything in one place. Softr Databases are relational, spreadsheet-easy to work with, and built for higher record limits and faster app performance than connecting through a third-party base. You can import a spreadsheet or an entire Airtable base to get started, so moving over is straightforward. Many teams consolidate onto Softr Databases to cut a tool from their stack.
Can I build an app on my Airtable data with Softr?
Yes. Softr connects directly to your Airtable base and turns it into a real application, like a client portal, CRM, or internal tool, with logins and permissions your base can't provide on its own. You build the interface visually or generate it with the AI Co-Builder, and your Airtable data powers it behind the scenes. (Softr also offers its own native databases if you ever want to move off Airtable, but you don't have to.)
How is Softr different from Airtable Interfaces?
Three ways that matter most. First, Softr is a dedicated interface builder, so it offers far more granular permissions: different user groups can see entirely different parts of the app and different data. Second, Airtable charges per seat, which gets expensive fast for an app with lots of users, while Softr's app-user pricing scales affordably to hundreds or thousands. Third, Softr adds authentication, hosting, and workflows around your data, so you get a full application rather than a shared view of a base.
Can I control what each person sees from my Airtable data?
Yes, down to the individual record. With role-based, record-level permissions, a client sees only their own rows while your team sees everything, all from the same base. This is the biggest gap Softr fills for Airtable users: sharing a base or an interface is all-or-nothing in ways a client-facing app can't afford, and Softr makes that access precise and secure.
