Looking for a Softr alternative that meets your specific needs? Look no further. Ksaar presents itself as a promising solution, offering advanced features and an optimized user experience. In this article, we'll take a closer look at its distinctive features and why it might be the best alternative to consider.
Softr, an improved Stacker
Softr is one of the best no-code tools tools with a polished interface. As mentioned above, Softr is data-driven. You connect your Airtable account, select the database you're interested in (a database of customers and their orders, for example) and Softr leaves you free to build an interface that interacts with this data, such as an application that lets your suppliers deliver to your customers.
Softr offers an appreciable simplicity, especially since this tool integrates more functionalities than the very similar Stacker: search fields, the possibility to create subscriptions and member spaces, or more diversified design choices for your application.
Softr is therefore a very good tool, which will allow you to create a simple application in a few minutes from a simple Airtable database (customer portal, marketplace, or internal training tool) and to integrate useful features, specifically designed for customer portals.
In short, Softr is a very good and complete no-code tool for simple applications - such as customer portals, which are its specialty - but it is not adapted to create more complex applications
And Ksaar, an improved Softr!
Ksaar fills in the gaps of Softr, especially in terms of flexibility. With Ksaar, you start with a blank page, connect your data source (which can be an Airtable database, but also Google Sheets, Snowflake or one of the 50 database tools that can be connected to Ksaar), and start creating your interface by dragging and dropping ready-made components for you.
Among these components, you will find all the basic components that are offered by the majority of tools, including Softr, but also components that are unique to Ksaar and that can take your application to the next level, such as the electronic signature directly integrated into your application, or the generation and edition of PDFs, which is very useful for creating and exporting invoices, for example.
Ksaar and Softr: the face-off
Aspect 1: Data management
Ksaar manages the data internally. In fact, the data does not leave the Ksaar application, which guarantees its security, especially since Ksaar hosts its data in France. Although Softr's integration with Airtable is successful since it is their core business, some delays may occur during an Airtable update.
Ksaar's rating : 4.5/5
Softr's rating: 3/5
Aspect 2: advanced features
Softr does what it does very well and meets a very specific need to create a customer interface from a database (or a file of the same type as Excel). This is both an advantage and a disadvantage because as soon as a company has a specific need, it is limited on Softr. Ksaar offers a number of advanced and integrated functionalities such as electronic signature, automatic generation of documents (docx, PDF) or online payment (punctual or recurring).
Ksaar's rating: 4.5/5
Softr's rating: 3/5
Aspect 3: Workflow management
The core business of Softr is to create a customer interface from a database, Softr does not manage the notion of workflows. It is therefore not possible to carry out a customer follow-up for example.
