Rationale
Softr is a strong match for Retool's concept. It explicitly offers API & Database Integrations with various data sources like Airtable, Google Sheets, SQL databases, and REST API. The 'Interface Builder' and 'Building Blocks' sections clearly indicate a Drag-and-Drop UI Builder with pre-built components. While not as explicit as Retool, Softr's 'Custom code' feature allows for code customization. Access Control & Security is a core offering with user management, groups, and permissions. Workflow Automation is supported through integrations with Zapier and Make. Softr also mentions mobile app support and the ability to build client/vendor/employee portals, aligning with partner portals. The only 'must-have' feature not explicitly detailed is 'Flexible Deployments', though it implies cloud deployment.
