Build web apps and portals from Airtable or Google Sheets — a German no-code alternative to Bubble.

Overview

Softr is a Berlin, Germany-based European company building no-code and saas software since 2019. Despite its EU base, EU Alts has verified that Softr is independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Germany (Softr Platforms GmbH, Berlin — confirmed correct, not Delaware/US), and hosts customer data with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Germany, so it may still fall under the reach of the US CLOUD Act — worth weighing against Airtable on this specific point.

Why European teams pick Softr

Teams in Europe still consider Softr for its no-code product and Germany presence, operating since 2019, but unlike a fully EU-owned provider, Softr is independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Germany (Softr Platforms GmbH, Berlin — confirmed correct, not Delaware/US), and hosts customer data with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Germany — so it does not fully avoid US CLOUD Act exposure the way some other alternatives to Airtable do.

About

Softr is a Berlin-based no-code app builder founded in 2019 that lets non-developers build client portals, internal tools, marketplaces, and directories directly on top of Airtable, Google Sheets, or HubSpot data. It provides pre-built blocks — tables, lists, maps, charts, forms, and dashboards — that can be assembled without code. Softr stores all customer data in EU data centres under GDPR and offers a DPA for business plans. Its primary use cases are client portals, membership sites, job boards, and B2B dashboards where customer data must remain in EU jurisdiction. Softr integrates with Stripe for payments, Zapier for automation, and Memberstack for membership management.

Frequently asked questions

What does Softr do?

Softr is build web apps and portals from airtable or google sheets — a german no-code alternative to bubble. It is listed under no-code and saas on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European no-code tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from Airtable.

Is Softr GDPR compliant?

Softr is headquartered in Berlin, Germany and processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Germany's data protection authority, the Bundesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit (BfDI). However, EU Alts has verified that Softr is independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Germany (Softr Platforms GmbH, Berlin — confirmed correct, not Delaware/US), and hosts customer data with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Germany, which means — unlike a fully EU-owned provider — it may still be reachable under the US CLOUD Act, similar to Airtable in that respect.

How do teams switch from Airtable to Softr?

Teams evaluating a move from Airtable to Softr should note: Softr is independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Germany (Softr Platforms GmbH, Berlin — confirmed correct, not Delaware/US), and hosts customer data with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Germany, so this switch narrows but may not fully close the US CLOUD Act gap. Weigh that against the no-code workflow fit before treating it as a complete Schrems II fix.
