Why choose Softr over Glide?
800,000+ companies rely on Softr to build client portals and internal tools β no code required. People choose Softr over Glide for an easier building experience, deeper data source integrations, flexible design, and more advanced user access control.
"I had already tried other tools, so when I started using Softr, it was clear immediately that the capabilities were beyond what I found elsewhere."
Yohei Nakajima, General Partner, Untapped Capital
1. Deeper data source integrations
Softr has deeper native data source integrations than Glide, allowing you to build more complex logic on top of existing databases and spreadsheets. Connect to multiple Airtable bases in one app, or connect multiple data sources (e.g. Airtable + HubSpot + Google Sheets) and easily map them to Softr's dynamic building blocks.
2. A built-in database with higher record limits
Prefer not to use external data sources? Softr Databases let you store, organize, and manage your data directly in Softr β powering your business operations and full-stack apps in one place. With higher record limits than Glide Tables (200,000 records per database in Softrβs Business Plan vs. 100,000 in Glideβs), you can scale with confidence.
6. More flexible permissions
Softr defines user groups and permissions in a flexible way, letting you create your own custom definitions using AND/OR statements, and any of your database and user information. Plus, Softr's Global Data Restrictions allow you to define app-level restrictions to ensure restricted data (records or fields) cannot be viewed, updated, or deleted in your app.
9. Awesome chat support for all plans (even free!)
Softr is known for its fast and direct chat support on all plans (including free!). It also has one of the most passionate communities out there, with 800K+ users building apps, and many of them offering help in SoftrΚΌs community forum.
