Soft Cap and Hard Cap in ICO are a minimum and a maximum that they are going to collect in ICO . If the ICO sale reach its soft cap, the project will continue or if not they will return the money that they collect from investors. Hard cap is the maximum that they will collect for the project which means if the ICO sale reach the hard cap, the ICO is very successful on its goal to pursue the project.

If the project get soft cap - it'll work. It's the most important thing for me in choosing it. The soft cap is the must meet requirement or the project doesn't move forward and everyone who participated in the ICO will receive a refund.  The hard cap is the maximum amount of funds that the project will accept and then the ICO is considered completed and no one else can participate.

Softcap is usually the lowest amount ICO needs, Hard cap is the maximum amount ICO needs.
It is important for investors in review sort cap and hard cap :
+ The softcap and the hardcap are based on numbers and real plans of project
+ The softcap and the hardcap is low so that investors have to buy tokens after listing rather than during ICO

Investing into ICOs with reached soft cap is less risky than investing into the projects that are barely supported by invsetors. You are safe as the company’s start is already secured. If it reaches Hard Cap- congratulations, the project can start to do every step that they have planned. It does not mean its impact will be greater than the impact of other companies, but in terms of finances, they should be safe and go for their goals.

If the project does not get softcup-we do not get money for bounty. Hardcup frequently overstated in order to collect from investors more money. Why so much money developers-incomprehensibly.

In simple terms,
Soft Cap = minimum funds required for the project, alternatively, this is the minimum amount that is required by the ICO. If SoftCap is not reached, ICO is cancelled and the amounts are refunded back to investor

Hard Cap = Maximum funds the project can raise from ICO. Above this cap, ICO will not accept any more funds from investors.

soft cap is the minimum amount of money set by project after the reaching of which ICO is considered successful. If not they give back funds to investors. Consequently hard cap is a maximum amount of money the project can raise from ICO. After reaching hard cap ICO ends.

The projects commonly use these two terms to be the scale or measurement of the success of the token sale.
The soft cap is the minimum amount of the token that must be required to sell to the investors. Commonly, the project that cannot reach the soft cap during the ICO will stop their token sale or project, or cancel and then refund to the investors, and also cancel of anything related to project promotion. Therefore, many projects always try to reach the softcap.
The hardcap itself is the maximum token sale that is effectively provided by the developer. When the project gets its hardcap, it means that the project is very successful. Commonly, they will stop the ICO when the coin has reached the hardcap and soon send the tokens to the investors.
In my opinion, it is important to see the soft cap and hardcap of a project to measure the success of a project.

Many projects require a soft cap to be reached or they refund all investors with their invested funds.

Hard cap is the maximum amount that can be invested.

[alt-fire]

it is very important that the team will explain how they will spend money, why they need this or that amount. you need a clearly described budget, this helps to determine the prospects of the project.

[Quincy01]

The soft cap is the minimum amount needed to sustain the continual of the project while the hard cap is the maximum amount  that can be accepted for the project. This means that there is always a minimum and maximum amount set for every project, that is whenever the maximum (Hard Cap) is reached for a particular project, they will not accept any further contribution, and whenever the minimum (Soft Cap) is not reached for a particular project, that project cannot continue because it does not have the required amount to run the project.

Hard cap and soft cap are the another terms that tells about the limits that thing can reach.
In cryptocurrency the hard cap tells the highest market value while the soft cap is the lowest market value it will reach which is a bracket for the amount of your investment.

[LighningChun]

already many told you that softcap is a Hard Cap (minimum which is necessary for start of the project). Hard Cap -this hard cover (the maximum that is needed to start and successfully develop the project). When I plan to invest in the project, I study it in detail and make an investment, only if the project has collected softcap. It's safe

[pmjmhjon30]

just to note, if ICO fail to exceed soft cap, all collected amount will be refunded back

soft cap is the minimum target or the minimum goal to be allocated during token sale. it means that the project itself is success, and ready to do the next step based on their roadmap. hard cap is the maximum funds to be raised, it means that the project is super success, and raised more than enough funds.

[elzjmirra]

This is particularly important when I am looking for a project let the project not exposed the scam. And this is very helpful, I am looking for a project with a cap or minimum sales targets are achieved. With soft CAP is reached, this makes the project will continue to the next stage. The soft CAP is reached of course the team will pursue a hard hat and if this is achieved, this, of course, is an incredible project.

The softcup this is the level at which the team will be able to realize your idea and product . Hard cup is the maximum amount that a team needs to collect

Soft cap mate not soft cup.
To make it easier, soft cap means the minimum amount that they want to collect.

just to note, if ICO fail to exceed soft cap, all collected amount will be refunded back

Many ICOs failed and they never reached their hard cap so do their soft caps and they have no choice but to refund the collected amount.

soft cap the minimum needed for the team to proceed with project
hard cap max they are looking to raise

if the soft cap is very high and not reached you might lose some money as presale investor as they will get refund minus money already spent on marketing and so on happened recently for moxy ico and was hard to see that one coming as soft cap was not that high

[hydrococo]

softcap is the initial target of a project. Where the time of softcap, a project has reached a turning point. so the project will definitely run. As for hardcap is a point where the sales mark has run out. And this is a target set by the team and the project dev in order for the project to get the most benefit. When a project reaches its hardcap the project is successful and its token sale has ended.
