Softr vs. Copilot

Copilot is a tool to build a one-stop shop for clients β€” that includes messaging capabilities, collaboration functionality, and more. However, Copilot is an expensive option for growing organizations looking to make several portals and host several users.

7 reasons Softr is better than Copilot

Softr offers Copilot’s same functionalities with more flexibility, integrations, and features, without a hefty price tag.

1. Powerful permissions

Softr allows organizations to set custom, granular permissions that allow for AND and OR, record level, and field level permissions so organizations can easily be in control of who has access to which information.

3. More cost-effective

No-code client portal software can get expensive fast β€” customers are typically charged per user per month. With Softr, you can get started for free, and as you grow, you can have up to 5,000 app users for just $139/month.

4. No painful migrations

Softr makes it easy for you to build on top of your existing Google Sheets and Airtable spreadsheets, saving you from painful and expensive data migrations, when a lot of mistakes can happen.
