Frequently asked questions
Softr is the AI platform that lets business teams build the software they need to run their operations, without code or developers. Describe what you need, and AI builds the app, database, and business logic — connected, secure, and ready for real users.
Over 1 million builders worldwide, from small businesses to enterprises, use Softr to build and run the internal tools and client-facing systems powering their operations.
Non-profits often have to patch together software or rely on costly developers. With Softr, you can create flexible tools that support your mission without draining your budget.
Here’s how it works:
- Generate your app from a prompt: Describe what you need and the AI Co-Builder generates a fully functional app — database, business logic, and utility pages (like login, password reset, and account settings) already included.
- Refine to your needs: Switch between prompting and visual editing to customize logic, control who sees and edits what, add features, and scale as your organization evolves — all on your own, no developers needed.
- Customize branding: Add your logo, colors, and domain so your app reflects your organization's identity and gives members, volunteers, and staff a consistent, professional experience.
- Add workflow automation: Use Softr Workflows to automate tasks like sending donation receipts, routing volunteer signups, or notifying program leads when applications are submitted. You can also add Softr Forms to collect donations, registrations, or applications and trigger workflows.
- Launch and iterate: Publish in minutes, then update or expand your app as your organization grows and program needs evolve.
With Softr, non-profit teams can connect to data stored in:
- Spreadsheets (Airtable, Google Sheets)
- Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase)
- Business tools (HubSpot, Notion, ClickUp, monday.com)
- Softr Databases for donor and member records
This makes it easy to unify donations, event registrations, volunteer logs, and community resources in one central hub.
Most non-profit software is either too rigid or expensive—and vibe-coded tools fall apart the moment real users and real data are involved. Softr is different because it's built for actual business use from day one.
Describe what you need, and the AI Co-Builder generates a fully functional app — no generated code to debug, no developer needed to make it ready for real users.
From there, you stay in control: customize through prompting or visual editing, manage data in Softr Databases or connect to existing tools, set up granular permissions for each role (volunteers, donors, staff, admins), and add a built-in AI assistant so your team can get instant answers directly inside the app. As your organization grows, your app grows with it — without starting over or calling in a developer.
Yes! Softr’s Ask AI functionality can help your team act faster with insights from live data in your app. This means you can ask questions like:
- “Who are the top 5 donors by campaign this year?"

- “What event sponsors have outstanding payments?”
Ask AI only analyzes the data each user is allowed to see at the block level, always respecting your app’s visibility and permission rules. This is an optional feature to include in your apps.
