Softr vs. Jet Admin
Hitting limits with Jet Admin? Try Softr, the fastest way to build scalable portals and apps without code.



The #1 Jet Admin alternative for business apps
Build scalable, full-stack apps on real business data—with predictable pricing and full control as you grow.
A more flexible, full-stack app builder.
Jet Admin is built for internal admin panels and CRUD-style dashboards. Softr is a full-stack platform that lets you build custom business apps—including client portals, CRMs, and full operational tools.
Designed for real app experiences.
Jet Admin excels at managing data internally, with limited support for external users. Softr gives you flexible layouts, navigation, UI blocks, and branding controls, making it easier to build polished, user-friendly apps.
Predictable pricing without per-user costs.
Jet Admin charges per user, which can add up quickly as access expands. Softr offers flat pricing with generous user and record limits. And with databases and workflows built in, it's designed to prevent tool sprawl.
Why businesses choose Softr over Jet Admin
Better-looking apps, less effort
Jet Admin interfaces are optimized for internal use. Softr provides more flexible layouts, white-labeling, and branding controls that let you create more polished user experiences.

Granular access control
Jet Admin permissions are limited. Softr supports role-based access with granular permissions, conditional filters, and global data restrictions—making it easier to precisely control what users can see and do.

Deeper native data source integrations
Jet Admin connects to databases and APIs. Softr offers deeper native integrations with Airtable, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Notion, SQL, and more—making it easier to build apps on top of existing business systems.

Built-in workflow automation
Jet Admin focuses on data management rather than orchestration. Softr includes native workflows triggered by user actions—like in-app form submissions or button clicks—making your apps more powerful.

More collaboration features
Jet Admin is designed around admins managing data. Softr supports collaboration features like comments, @mentions, and shared views, making it easier for teams and clients to work together inside the same app.

Vibe coding and AI to build faster
Vibe coding in Softr lets you generate custom tools and UIs from a prompt. Vibe-coded blocks connect to live data, support CRUD actions, follow visibility rules, and include version history.
