Softr Pricing 2026: The App-User Ceiling

TL;DR: Softr pricing in 2026 has five tiers: Free, Basic ($59/mo monthly, ~$49 annual), Professional ($167/mo monthly, ~$139 annual), Business ($323/mo monthly, ~$269 annual), and custom Enterprise. The real lever is app users — 20 on Basic, 100 on Professional, 500 on Business — so your tier is set by how many people log into your app.

Softr's price ladder is really a ladder of app-user caps.

Softr is a no-code builder for client portals, internal tools, and web apps built on top of data sources like Airtable or Google Sheets. As of August 2026, Softr pricing ladders up mainly by the number of app users your product supports, so picking a tier is really about your audience size. Here is what each plan costs and where the ceilings sit.

What does the Softr free plan include?

The Softr free plan costs $0 and lets you build and publish a basic app to test the platform, with tight limits on app users, records, and features. It is designed for evaluation and very small personal projects.

The free tier is enough to prove your idea and see how Softr connects to your data, but its user and record caps make it unsuitable for a real client portal. Once you have external users logging in, you move to a paid plan.

How much do the Softr Basic and Professional plans cost?

The Softr Basic plan costs $59 per month monthly (about $49 annually) and the Professional plan costs $167 per month monthly (about $139 annually). According to Softr pricing checked in August 2026, annual billing works out to roughly two months free.

Basic supports up to 20 app users, while Professional lifts that to 100 and adds more features. The gap reflects audience size more than tooling, so the choice hinges on how many people will log into your app rather than which features you want.

What does the Softr Business plan add?

The Softr Business plan costs $323 per month monthly (about $269 annually) and raises the app-user ceiling to 500, along with higher record limits and more advanced features. It targets apps with a sizable external audience.

Business is the tier for a growing client portal or member app approaching hundreds of users. The jump from Professional's 100 users to Business's 500 is the main reason to upgrade, so watch your active user count as the trigger rather than feature envy.

How do Softr app-user caps work?

Softr app-user caps set how many distinct people can log into your app per tier — 20 on Basic, 100 on Professional, and 500 on Business. App users are the primary price lever, so exceeding your cap is what forces an upgrade.

This matters most for client portals and membership sites, where each customer is an app user. Estimate your real logged-in audience, not just visitors, because it is the number that determines your plan and the moment you outgrow it.

Is Softr pricing right for client portals?

Softr pricing is right for client portals and internal tools when your app-user count matches a tier — Basic for up to 20 users, Professional for up to 100, Business for up to 500. It gets expensive if your audience sits just above a cap.

The honest read: Softr is well-suited to portals and gated apps, but because pricing ladders by app users, an audience just over a threshold pushes you to a pricier tier. Forecast your logged-in users and pick annual billing for the two-months-free saving if you plan to keep the app.

Frequently asked questions

Is Softr free?
Softr has a free plan that lets you build and publish a basic app with tight limits on app users, records, and features. It is meant for testing and very small personal projects; real client portals with external users require a paid tier.

How much does Softr cost?
Softr costs $59 per month for Basic, $167 for Professional, and $323 for Business on monthly billing, with annual billing lower (about $49, $139, and $269), according to pricing checked in August 2026. Enterprise is custom.

What are app users in Softr?
App users are the distinct people who log into your Softr app. They are the main price lever: Basic allows 20, Professional 100, and Business 500. Exceeding your tier's app-user cap is what forces an upgrade to a higher plan.

How many users does each Softr plan allow?
Softr allows 20 app users on Basic, 100 on Professional, and 500 on Business, with Enterprise custom. Because pricing ladders by app users, estimate your logged-in audience before choosing, since that number sets your tier.

Does annual billing save money on Softr?
Yes. Softr's annual billing works out to roughly two months free compared with monthly, bringing Basic to about $49, Professional to about $139, and Business to about $269 per month. Annual is the cheaper route if you plan to keep the app.

Is Softr good for client portals?
Yes. Softr is well-suited to client portals, internal tools, and membership apps built on data sources like Airtable or Google Sheets. Just match the plan to your app-user count, since each logged-in client counts toward your tier's cap.

What happens if I exceed my Softr user cap?
Exceeding your tier's app-user cap means upgrading to the next plan — from Basic's 20 to Professional's 100, or to Business's 500. Because an audience just over a threshold triggers a pricier tier, forecast your logged-in users carefully.

What data sources does Softr use?
Softr builds apps on top of data sources like Airtable and Google Sheets, turning your existing data into portals and tools. That makes it easy to start from data you already have, while your plan cost is driven mainly by app-user count.

Bottom line

Softr is a strong no-code choice for client portals, internal tools, and membership apps, and its plans are priced mainly by app users: 20 on Basic ($59/mo), 100 on Professional ($167/mo), and 500 on Business ($323/mo). Pick the tier that matches your logged-in audience, and choose annual billing for the roughly two-months-free saving. The catch is the ceilings — an audience just above a cap pushes you to a pricier tier — so forecast your real app-user count before committing, and revisit it as your portal grows.
