$0 No-Code SaaS

Non-technical founders building a web app without writing code

Assemble a working SaaS from no-code tools without a single line of code

Airtable is your database. Softr turns it into a real app with auth, permissions, and payments. Tally handles lead capture. Stripe processes payments (via Softr integration). Notion holds your docs, SOPs, and customer support content. Zapier (optional) wires the no-code tools together for automations. You can run this stack for $0/month until you need more than Softr's free tier (100 app users) or Airtable's 1K records/base.

How to set it up

4 of 6 services are onboarded automatically by SPARKi's wizard. The rest you set up by following the steps below.

  1. 1Create accounts on Airtable, Softr, Tally, Stripe, Notion, Zapier — any order
  2. 2Airtable: create a PAT at airtable.com/create/tokens with scope schema.bases:read
  3. 3Tally: grab API key from tally.so/settings/api
  4. 4Notion: create an internal integration at notion.so/my-integrations
  5. 5Stripe: create a RESTRICTED key (not secret!) at dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys with read permissions on Balance, Charges, Customers, Subscriptions, Payouts
  6. 6Run `/sparki start no-code-saas for <project>` — the wizard automates Airtable, Tally, Notion, Stripe
  7. 7Softr and Zapier still need manual setup — visit softr.io and zapier.com to configure
  8. 8Restart SPARKy: `pm2 restart sparky --update-env`
  9. 9Verify: `/sparki packages setup no-code-saas`

Ready? SPARKi can onboard most of this for you.

Open SPARKi and run /sparki start no-code-saasfor <your-project> in a direct message. SPARKi will walk you through 4 services one at a time, verify each API key live, and write the config automatically. 2 services (Softr, Zapier) still need manual setup via vendor dashboards.
