8 reasons to switch from Glide to Softr

Create your app from multiple data sources, in one app

Softr lets you connect to as many data sources and bases as you like while allowing you to build complex logic on top. With Glide, you are limited to connecting a single data source. Learn More

Work with a complete set of powerful building blocks

Softr offers pre-built and functional blocks like Lists, Charts, Forms, Tables, Calendar, Kanban, Maps out of the box, so you don’t need to reinvent it from scratch. With Glide, you get limited layouts to present and interact with your data. Whether you are building dashboards, automating workflows, visualizing data with complex layouts - we have you covered.

Control app permissions and access levels at a granular level

Softr shines with the level of app permission and access level controls it offers. Granular permissions ensures only designated users view and edit the right information from your app, while everything is securely stored in your database. Learn More

Don’t compromise on authentication options

While Glide supports a simple signin with email/password & SSO (Enterprise only), Softr supports almost any authentication option you might think of: Sign-in with SSO, SMS, Google, or with custom code - we have it all. Learn More

Get the best of both, web and mobile app at once

Save the time and effort of building a web and mobile app, independent of each other. With Softr, you can start with your portal or internal tool, then turn it into a mobile app with one click (literally). Learn More

Say goodbye to record limits

The Softr Business plan has no record limit. Glide's highest plan limits you to using 50,000 records per project and only allows 20,000 updates each month (or you can get more by paying extra).
