Claim this listing →In short
Softr is a automation & ai platforms / no-code app builders for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹1,885/mo for a GST-registered business ($19/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for teams building portals on Airtable/Sheets, and a poor fit if teams that need a flat monthly number as usage grows, because the price tracks logins rather than the app you shipped.
The trade-off, weighed
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- A free tier plus a 19 dollar Basic plan lets you publish a working client portal before committing real budget
- Airtable and Google Sheets stay the backend, so your records live somewhere you already control and can export at any time
- The same email counts once as an app user across every app you build, and deactivated users stop counting toward the allowance
The catch
- The bill scales on how many people log in rather than what you built, so a portal that gets popular costs more by itself
- Pro includes 10 team and 50 client users, and extras bill at 3 dollars and 1 dollar per user each month
- Softr cut the Business plan user cap from 2500 to 500 for new subscriptions in November 2025, while existing customers kept the old cap
- Exceeding your user allowance starts a 7 day grace period, and a failed payment deactivates every user above the included count

In practice
Where Softr fits in a workflow
These stacks show when to use this tool, what comes before it, and what should be handled manually first.
Does Softr give a GST invoice in India?

Is Softr good for Indian small businesses?
Softr can work for Indian buyers, but check currency, tax, billing, support, and whether the workflow justifies foreign-currency pricing.
Does Softr have a free plan?
Softr lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.
