The short answer
Softr puts a secure portal over data you already keep (Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, SQL and more), from pre-built blocks a non-technical team can maintain, with user groups, record-level rules, SOC 2 Type II and an MCP server on every plan. Vibely writes the portal as real React and TypeScript on your own Supabase project, with no per-user fee, and builds native React Native + Expo apps on Pro and Business; Softr apps are PWAs with no code export. Pick Softr when the data lives elsewhere; pick Vibely for a portal you own as code.

Where Vibely differs from Softr
A portal you own as code
Softr composes its own blocks instead of generating code, so there is no codebase to export or sync. Vibely writes real React and TypeScript you can read, edit, export and sync two ways with your own GitHub repository.
No per-user fee for your clients
Softr's plans count app users: Pro includes 10 team users and 50 client users, with more at extra cost. A Vibely app's sign-in runs on your own Supabase project, and Vibely does not charge per person who logs in.
Native mobile, not a PWA
Softr's docs say its apps are progressive web apps that cannot be published to the App Store or Google Play. On Pro and Business, Vibely builds React Native + Expo apps with TestFlight and Play internal-testing uploads.
Past the 80% the blocks cover
Softr's blocks cover the standard screens, and a vibe-coding block adds one browser-only component at a time. In Vibely the whole app is code, so custom logic, server functions and AI features are part of the same project.

Switching to Vibely from Softr
Vibely does not import a codebase built on another platform. You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.
Step 1
You rebuild the app in Vibely by describing what it does.
Start building freeStep 2
Connect Supabase to a project in a click and the agent takes it from there — tables, row-level security, and data access patterns generated from what your app actually needs. The Supabase integration is on Pro and Business.
Step 3
From the first message the output is real React and TypeScript, and you can connect that Vibely project to a GitHub repository and keep the two in sync from there. GitHub sync works on every plan.
Step 4
One-click publish to a live URL on every plan, with custom domains from Pro. On Pro and Business, Vibely builds React Native + Expo apps alongside the web app, from the same prompt and the same project.
Moving off Softr
Softr apps are assembled from Softr's blocks, so there is no codebase to carry across, and Vibely does not import a project built on another platform in any case. Moving means rebuilding the portal here by describing what it does.
The data is the easier part. If it lives in Softr Databases, export it as CSV; if it already lives in Airtable, Google Sheets or a SQL database, it stays where it is. Load it into the Supabase project you connect, or ask the agent to read your existing API.
