Why I turned away from Glide Pages to Softr: I love Glide for its simplicity and ease, especially for mobile apps, but I tested Glide Pages intensely and discovered some weaknesses. Why comparing these two? In my case I am building a user dashboard and page generator, desktop-first, Zapier connectable.
WHERE GLIDE PAGES IS BETTER (as of now):
- Layout options: Modals, columns etc. far better (in Softr you are bound to templates)
- Building custom actions and flows, connecting more than 2 data sets
- Design: Edit screens and dropdowns look far better, lists are far more customisable
WHERE SOFTR IS BETTER:
- Design: Far more options to customise and implement your own CI
- Payment: Gateway, account pages, CRM included (I had a bit more complicated workaround in Glide)
- Opengraph, shareable on social media
- Integrating app & website makes more sense in Softr (Glide Pages as blog and docs looks weird)
Some other stuff I do not value so much right now (Airtable, embedding content).
