What Coda is
Coda is a collaborative platform that brings team documents, spreadsheets, and applications together in a shared canvas. Teams can create docs and hubs, then build trackers and apps to fit their workflows. Its tables hold structured data that can be filtered, sorted, summarized, analyzed, and used in formulas. Automations can respond to row changes, scheduled times, form submissions, or webhooks, with actions such as changing rows, notifying people, and invoking Packs. Coda AI can help with repetitive tasks, content creation, and insights. The service lists more than 600 integrations, including Slack, Jira, Salesforce, Google, AWS, Figma, Miro, and Zoom, and offers an API for working with docs programmatically. It is available on web, iOS, and Android, as well as through its API. The Free plan is free, with limits on shared-doc pages and objects, attachment storage, automation quota, and version history. Pro is $12 a month per member when billed annually, or $15 when billed monthly; Business is $33 a month per member when billed annually, or $40 when billed monthly.
