Choose Floot if

Non-technical builders who already pay for Claude or ChatGPT and want a hosted full-stack app without setting up infrastructure.

  • No AI token markup: the model runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan
  • Backend, database, auth and hosting set up without outside services
  • Failed and cancelled actions never count against the daily limit

Look elsewhere if: Developers who want a local repo, git workflow and full code ownership from day one (Cursor) or a standalone builder with its own agent (Lovable, Bolt.new).

Choose Softr if

Non-technical teams who want portals and simple apps on top of Airtable or Sheets.

  • Fastest way to a client portal from existing data
  • Good permissions model
  • Free plan to start

Look elsewhere if: Complex apps (Bubble) or internal tools over SQL databases (Retool).
