Our assessment in one line
Excellent at one job and honest about it. If your data is already in Airtable and you need a gated portal your clients can log into, Softr gets you there faster than anything else in the index, with permissions that behave. It is a front end, not a platform: the record limits and page-load behaviour bite as data grows, there is no code export, and the AI assistant is cosmetic. Rent it for a portal. Do not build a product on it.
