Which one is for you
Pick Softr if
- Fits if you need a client portal or internal tool on top of Airtable, Google Sheets or a CRM
- Works for nonprofits and schools, which get 50% off
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you have more than a handful of clients, as Basic stops at 5 client users and add-ons start on Pro
- Pricey if you want Softr's branding gone, custom code or granular permissions, since those start on Pro at $99 a month billed yearly
- Not for you if you want generated code, as apps are assembled from Softr's pre-built blocks
- Watch out: workflows pause when the monthly action limit is reached, until it renews or you upgrade
- Watch out: extra builders cost $5 to $20 a month each, and an installable phone version needs Business at $329
Pick WeWeb if
- Fits if you want a web front end over your own database or API
- Works for developers who want to export and self-host
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 1,000 sessions in total and no code export
- Watch out: GitHub sync and self-hosting start at $20 Essential
- Watch out: WeWeb Cloud hosting is billed per app and no hosting price is shown
- Pricey if you work with others: Pro is $50 and Partner $79 per developer
How we grade them
| 2.4GPASoftrFair | 2.2GPAWeWebFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DBasic is $19 a month billed yearly, $25 monthly, bang on the middle for builders here. But for a client-portal tool it stops at 5 team and 5 client users with no add-ons until Pro — and Pro is $99, five times that middle, where more users, granular permissions, custom code and branding removal all live. | C$20 a month billed yearly for Essential is the category's middle. Hosting is billed per app on top, and Pro is $50 a developer. |
| Free plan and trial | CUnlimited apps, databases, workflows and forms, up to 3 builders, and the Softr API and MCP included. Then the caps bite: 5 app users, 5K records, 500 workflow actions and 5 AI credits a month. For a product built on client portals, 5 users is the wall. | CFree: personal projects, 1M AI tokens a month, and a hosted app capped at 1,000 sessions in total. |
| Features | BIt covers the whole job: a prompt produces the pages, database, permissions and workflows, then you refine with blocks like lists, charts, calendars and forms. Data lives in Softr or stays live in Airtable, Sheets, Notion, HubSpot or SQL, with logins and user groups built in. Glide does the same, so no A. | CVisual editor, AI generation, API connections, workflows and code export on paid plans. Backend work happens in the services you connect. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but you start from data you already keep, in Airtable or a spreadsheet, and the AI drafts the pages, permissions and workflows. After that it's pre-built blocks rather than code. | CNo store rating on record. A drag-and-drop editor with workflows and API setup to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web app for building, with nothing on desktop or phone. It connects to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Supabase, monday.com and PostgreSQL, and the Softr API and MCP are on the Free plan. An installable phone version of your app needs Business. | BWeb app with API and data connections, an MCP server, GitHub sync and export to host anywhere. |
| Best for | client portals on top of Airtable or Sheets | visual web apps with code export |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
