Live demo
This portal is powered by a real Google Sheet
Project status, milestones, and documents come live from a Google Sheet. Share a private link with each client.
How it works
Three steps to go live
Connect your Google Sheet
Paste your Google Sheet URL in SheetRocket. Share the sheet with our service account or connect through Google OAuth. Your column headers become field labels automatically.
Pick a template and customize
Choose from widget templates, catalogue site templates, or client portal templates. Set colors, fonts, layout, and which columns appear where.
Publish, embed, or share
Get a hosted URL, copy a two line embed code for your existing website, or use your REST API endpoint. Updates sync automatically when you edit the sheet.

Frequently asked questions
When should I use Softr vs SheetRocket?
Use Softr if you need complex multi user apps with different permission levels, a full database, and advanced business logic. Use SheetRocket if you already manage data in Google Sheets and want to share it with clients as a professional portal without building infrastructure.
Does SheetRocket have client login like Softr?
SheetRocket uses private links and optional passwords instead of user accounts. Each client gets a unique private URL. Only people with that URL can access the portal. This is simpler than a login system and works for most agency use cases.
Can SheetRocket replace Softr for internal tools?
For basic internal dashboards yes. If you need complex role based permissions, workflow automations, or multi database joins SheetRocket is not the right tool. For simple data display and client facing portals SheetRocket is faster to set up and cheaper to run.
Is SheetRocket harder to use than Softr?
No. SheetRocket is significantly simpler. You connect a Google Sheet and pick a template. There is no database schema to design, no user table to configure, and no permission rules to set up.
What portal templates does SheetRocket have?
Eight templates: Agency client portal, Freelancer project portal, Property management, Coaching, Accountant, Legal, Wedding planner, and Personal trainer. Each has a full sidebar navigation, dashboard overview, and section views for documents, invoices, milestones, and activity.
Client portals without the Softr complexity
Connect your Google Sheet, pick a portal template, and share a private link. Free to start. From $19/month on paid plans.
