What Is Coda?

Coda is the all-in-one doc that brings words, data, and teams together. It starts with a blinking cursor on a blank page and can grow as big as your team's ambition. Coda comes with a set of building blocksーlike pages for infinite depth, tables that talk to each other, and buttons that take action inside or outside your docーthat enable teams to create workflows, instead of conforming to other tools. Teams use Coda to run effective meetings, drive planning processes, launch products, and more.

Who Uses Coda?

Coda is a doc for teams. Companies like Spotify, Square, and Uber make Coda docs to do everything from run meetings to track global launches.

Coda is the ultimate Team unifier

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

Before Coda, we used to have several different programs and databases to keep track of our day to day work. Coda has become the one-stop-shop for most things we do that don't require higher processing capabilities (statistics, image analysis, etc.). I really like how several of us can be on a certain document at one time (similar to the Google docs functionality) and all of us can collaborate in real time without having to jump from one application to another.

Cons:

We have a lot of data in Coda and I really wished there was a statistical analysis option for our tables and charts. When I say stats, I don't mean high order stats (such as Chi-square tests, T-tests, etc.) but averages and counts based on specific criteria and so forth. Also, though once you know the program it's a breeze to work with, a Doc Maker needs to spend a lot of time familiarizing him/her/themself with the abundance of features Coda has to offer and its language.

Unlimited power and agility for 0 to 12$/m/team

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Amazing, game changer for the business efficiency, speed, agility.

Pros:

Unbelievably powerful, you can build all the most advanced CRM / ERP / project management tools and features you can imagine in a few hours, integrate with the whole universe, and make your ops people (sales,...) save time and be happy. Plus it comes with a Google doc killer that will reshape how efficiently your team works in asynchronous docs, it's game changer.

Cons:

People who are not really at ease with Google sheets / zapier can't build as advanced workflows, but it's okay.

Coda

3.0 4 years ago

Comments: I’ve used Coda for a variety of things, in much the same way as you might reach for a spreadsheet I now reach for Coda. At a personal level, I’ve used to manage my personal finances, keep track of recipes and help me to stay on top of my gym workouts. For work I’ve used to create project briefs, manage my projects and finances.

Pros:

It is really easy to get up and running with Coda. Within minutes you can create something that is really useful

Cons:

The only reservation I have about Coda is it’s scalability. With very few rows it can become incredibly slow. I appreciate Coda are working very hard to improve but I advise anyone to verify the feasibility of their application by performing a quick test to establish whether performance is likely to be an issue.

Powerful, flexible and rewarding to use

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: I see its relevance In all my future work in some way or another.

Pros:

If you like playing around with software or do you need to customize functionality to various projects Coda is a serious contender. There are so many uses and possibilities that it replaces a lot of other software.

Cons:

It is not always easy to translate your idea into a functional Doc, so be prepared for a step learning curve.

A couple of weeks and you'll be in love with Coda

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: 2 weeks are all it takes for you to fall in love with Coda. Starting is not the smoothest process, but the power and flexibility it gives us make it totally worth it. The free tier is more than enough for most solo users. Managers will simply want to get the team plan because it is the one app you'll need to put it all together.

Pros:

Coda is extremely powerfull. I love the hability to centralize in one document all the data my team uses.

Cons:

The one feature that needs urgently to be deployed/improved is the 2-way sync of lookups, but for same table and different tables lookups.
