What Is Softr?
Softr is a no-code app builder that lets teams turn Airtable, Google Sheets, and HubSpot data into client portals, internal tools, and member sites. It focuses on web apps assembled from pre-built blocks and templates and is aimed at founders, agencies, and small teams that need to ship customer-facing or internal apps without a developer.
It offers a block-based page builder, user authentication, gated content, and template-driven layouts. It integrates primarily with Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, and Stripe. Pricing starts free for early-stage projects and scales by plan tier and user seat.

What Is Huddle?
Huddle is a zero-code application builder that enables non-technical users to build internal applications — including service portals, dashboards, intranets, CRM portals, asset management tools, HR self-service portals, and knowledge bases — without writing code.
Huddle connects directly to existing data sources including Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Smartsheet, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Notion, Asana, and Jira. It does not require data migration — data remains in its original source.
Huddle includes a native ITSM widget library, built-in portal analytics, configuration management tools including visual app maps and version control, and AI-generated documentation. Huddle is designed for teams ranging from small businesses to large enterprises.
How Huddle and Softr Differ
Ease of Use
Huddle is built for non-technical users from day one. It is suitable for small businesses and teams with no dedicated development resource, and powerful enough to support large enterprise deployments. Softr is also accessible to non-technical users, but its block-based model is optimized for marketing-style pages and member portals rather than operational tooling.
Data Connectivity
Huddle is data-source agnostic and connects directly to Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, Smartsheet, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Notion, Asana, Jira and more without requiring data migration. Softr is primarily designed around Airtable, Google Sheets, and HubSpot as its source databases.
Cost
Huddle's total cost of ownership is designed to be accessible for SMBs and independent businesses while scaling to enterprise needs. Softr starts free and scales to several hundred dollars per month at the team and business tiers.
Configuration Management
Huddle includes configuration management out of the box — visual app maps, version control, and AI-generated documentation — so teams can maintain apps they have built over time. It also ships with a native ITSM service management widget library (Service Catalog, My Tasks, My Requests) and built-in portal analytics with no third-party dependency. Softr does not include these capabilities natively.
Who It's For
Huddle is built for non-technical users at SMBs through to enterprises. Softr is built primarily for the audience described above.
Who Should Choose Huddle?
Teams that need internal portals, dashboards, intranets, CRMs, asset trackers, or ITSM portals and want one builder that works the same way at 10 seats and at 10,000.
Who Should Choose Softr?
Founders, agencies, and small teams who primarily need customer-facing portals or member sites built on top of an Airtable or Google Sheets backend and who do not need ITSM, configuration management, or built-in analytics.
