Softr vs. Noloco

Softr and Noloco are both app-building platforms that help businesses put together their internal tool collection. With Softr, you can build not only internal tools, but also fully-fledged products you can offer to your customers, with flexible design and powerful functionality. Noloco’s top use cases involve internal tools only. Customers choose Softr over Noloco because of pricing, ease of use, native integrations and data update speed.

Untapped Capital VC firm keeps its LPs informed with investor portal built with Softr

I tried other tools, like Webflow and Stacker, but they were either too flexible or not flexible enough. When I used Softr, it was clear immediately that the capabilities went beyond what I found elsewhere. Technology is core to our fund, and Softr is key to differentiating ourselves with a custom client portal that allows us to operate efficiently. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
