How Noloco and Softr
solve your problems

Building internal tools and apps
Need a powerful internal tool like a CRM or project tracker? Noloco has you covered with automation and database management. For simpler websites or community forums, Softr is a better fit.
Data integrations
Noloco connects to 6+ databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and REST APIs, making it ideal for complex data needs. Softr supports those but has APIs just in BETA, which can limit scalability.
Customization and flexibility
Noloco gives you full control over workflows and user roles, so you can customize everything. Softr sticks mainly to templates, making it easier to use but with less room for customization.
User roles and permissions
With global permissions, you can manage users easily in Noloco. In Softr, you have to set permissions for each action, which can be time-consuming for larger teams.
Ease of use
Noloco speeds things up by auto-generating pages and forms. Softr is beginner-friendly, but you’ll need to do more manual work to make dynamic apps.
Scalability and pricing
Want a plan that grows with your business? Noloco offers flexible user limits and data capacity. Softr starts off cheap, but has stricter limits and requires costly upgrades as your business expands.
