Best Airtable Client Portals in 2026

Airtable is one of the most popular databases for agencies, consultancies, and service businesses. But sharing Airtable data with clients directly is clunky — they don't need to see your internal fields, automations, or backend views.

That's where client portal builders come in. These tools sit on top of Airtable and let you create branded, secure portals where each client only sees their own data.

Here are the best options in 2026.

1. Softr

Softr is the most popular Airtable portal builder, and for good reason. It offers a generous free tier, a drag-and-drop builder with dozens of pre-built blocks, and deep Airtable integration with real-time sync.

Best for: Teams that want a free starting point and maximum design flexibility.

Pricing: Free tier available. Paid plans from $49/month.

2. Noloco

Noloco takes a different approach — instead of building from blocks, it auto-generates a full app from your Airtable schema. The result is a polished, structured portal with list views, detail pages, and forms, all connected to your data automatically.

Best for: Teams that want a professional-looking portal fast, with built-in automations.

Pricing: From $49/month. No free tier.

How to choose

If you're just getting started and want to experiment without commitment, start with Softr's free tier. If you know you need a portal and want the fastest path to a polished result, Noloco will save you time.

Both tools integrate with Airtable's API, so your data stays in sync. The main differences come down to design flexibility (Softr) vs. structure and automations (Noloco).
