Coda
What Coda is
Coda is a collaborative workspace for teams that combines documents, spreadsheets, and applications. Teams can use its shared canvas for collaborative docs and team hubs, then create tables, trackers, and apps around their workflows. Tables organize structured data that can be filtered, sorted, summarized, analyzed, and referenced in formulas. Automations can respond to row changes, scheduled times, form submissions, or webhooks; actions can change rows, notify people, or invoke Packs. Coda AI can help create content, surface insights, and handle repetitive tasks. Coda lists more than 600 integrations, including Slack, Jira, Salesforce, Google, AWS, Figma, Miro, and Zoom, and provides an API guide for interacting with docs programmatically. It is available on web, iOS, and Android, with an API platform. The Free plan costs nothing and has limits on shared-doc pages and objects, attachments, automation quota, and version history. Paid plans add capacity and controls, with Pro at $12 a month per member when billed annually and Business at $33 a month per member when billed annually. Enterprise pricing is available through sales.
