Moving from Softr to Baserow
What Baserow's importer carries over, what it leaves behind, and any help it offers switchers.
To Baserow
Official guide baserow.io · Tools: Baserow Airtable import tool, Baserow CSV/Excel/XML/JSON import, Baserow Application Builder

Watch out for:
- No Softr-specific migration guide or importer exists: Baserow's official importer is built for Airtable, so Softr Databases data goes through the API or CSV instead. baserow.io
- Softr has no native Baserow integration; in Softr's own community, users report Softr treats Baserow as a direct competitor and won't build one. baserow.io
- Automations, row comments, revision history, field descriptions and access controls do not transfer, per Baserow's own import documentation. baserow.io
