[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/coda-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/coda-profile/alternatives/) # Coda User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.6/5 - Total reviews: 98 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.2/5 - Customer support: 4.4/5 - Value for money: 4.4/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 60 reviews (61%) - 4 stars: 32 reviews (33%) - 3 stars: 6 reviews (6%) - 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 0 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - We also use it for very comprehensive project management - we even integrated an ability to take meeting notes via "forms". - Our project manager can configure project management very specifically to meet each team's needs and requests. - With Coda, I decided early on that this is something I am willing to pay for. And, since I do not need to pay for each user that has access to my databases, I only pay for the "Doc maker", the person(s) who builds the database, I found it a very reasonably priced option for my use. ### Most mentioned cons - It feels chaotic in terms of organizing documentation. - Also can't get any automations to work. - The organisation of folders / sub folders isn't deep enough to nest different sub-categories and we found that after several months of use, there were performance issues and slow loading times. ## Coda customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 98 (page 1). ### Very cool features, but some bumps along the way - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Matt D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use Coda for individual notes on smaller projects (block limits prevent me using it for longer ones), giving me a single spot to find my notes from meetings, workshops and creative outputs and organise my thinking far better than I could in our G Suite setup. I also love Coda for user interviews and research, helping my to create views of an interview script for each session, but then to be able to review all the sessions side by side, have the videos embedded etc. Most limitations come from an inability to fully adopt it in my own work enough to justify paying for an account - a lot of my personal use moved to Notion when the introduced pricing strategy killed half of my live documents, and it's just not powerful or reliable enough for me to be able to make a push for it as a team-wide tool yet. This isn't a concern for future users, but the "This doc is too big and will become read only in 14 days" approach to implementing their initially very convoluted pricing strategy was a real pain point and burned a lot of my goodwill. I don't expect them to pivot that dramatically again (from "A doc as powerful as an app" to "A doc for teams"), but that pivot has made me very wary about recommending it to friends and colleagues in case it happens again and half their work gets frozen in a format that's very tough to extract efficiently. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Coda is, first and foremost, very impressive. It does a lot, especially through their Packs, that can make Coda docs meaningful hubs for projects whether personal or professional. If you can get the buy in from your team or company to make the swap, giving people the tools to create useful tools for themselves is fantastic. The pace of development compared to others in the space (looking at you, Notion) is also very impressive and it feels like almost every other week there's some new feature that I can actually make use of with Coda. #### Cons The main drawbacks for me are the pricing model, especially for individual use, and the maths functions. Pricing: It's very tough to use as e.g. a personal planner with the free product, and it isn't dramatically better at those functions with the paid product than something like Notion. Particularly after Notion made the majority of personal plan free it's just very hard to recommend Coda for individuals unless you have a very specific need for some of their features, as the document size limits can feel very arbitrary, blocking out usage for a lot of hobby users. Maths/Spreadsheet style functions: While a lot exists, and the idea of focusing on column references rather than cell references initially feels nice, in reality it only makes explaining what a formula is doing once it works easier - getting that formula to work is very tough. Documentation is pretty patchwork around maths functions and sometimes you just want to be able to jot some quick table calculations down that might not suit "Rows as distinct entries" style tables, but everything in Coda is set up to deal with continuous and repeated equations within an entry, which is very tough to deal with. --- ### Could be a great product, but Not the best for me - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Marc M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Beyond utilizing the initial document/app I was provided, I found my experience frustrating at best. It’s not Coda’s fault, this product could be perfectly ideal for someone with the right skills, that’s just simply not me. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The idea of building up an ‘app’ to be exactly what I need functionality-wise, and based off of an all-encompassing spread sheet was very appealing. I would have access to all the info I needed on desktop and mobile. #### Cons Building it out to be what I needed required an ability to code the document in every way, and that’s just not something I’m knowledgeable enough for. Nor do I have the time to figure it out. Even once I did finally build out features, I would easily delete them accidentally. That said, I got some help early on to get everything set up correctly, but again, without knowing how to do it myself, I couldn’t maintain or expand on what I was provided. #### Reasons for choosing Coda I was hoping to expand upon my existing Excel document to make the data more accessible (mobile) and more revealing (reports). --- ### Good product without the bells and whistles. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Timothy L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Coda is a good tool that excels as a simple product. If you don't need or want to worry about having to learn a new tool to collaborate / store knowledge and want a well built tool then Coda may be what you are looking for. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Coda is simple to use and easy to share pages with colleagues. As a knowledge management tool or collaboration tool it gets the job done without a steep learning curve. #### Cons Coda felt like it had limited capabilities to make deeply customizable content like tables or pages with diverse content. --- ### Coda is amazing for many things, specially organizing content and making your tasks organized. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Caio C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Since I started using coda I was able to organize my tasks and content in a better way, it replaced old document tools and now I have much more flexibility to work with data at work and also for personal stuff. #### Cons Some of the features could be simpler to use, sometimes is a bit complicated to use more advanced features with custom integrations and more complex widgets. #### Reasons for switching to Coda Coda is very superior in terms of organizing documents and tasks than the Google or Office suite. --- ### Powerful, flexible and rewarding to use - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Niels W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I see its relevance In all my future work in some way or another. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Coda Notion did not provide the functionality I needed. Coda is more versatile. --- ### Slows down over time - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Giles B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Ok... but then it just slowed down and became unusable. We need to get critical company info out of heads and recorded fast. Loading up Coda was slow and they messed with the structure of docs too much to the point where we lost track of what went were. It was simple at first then it became docs, folders, sections, child sections. It feels like they're just bloating it with features now. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The flexibility to set things up how you want is great but that also comes with down sides after a while. The data table functionality works ok. #### Cons Speed and performance really suffers with time, to the point where it takes 10 seconds plus to open our main doc. Support tried to help but couldn't really do anything to improve it. It's also very easy to accidentally share your entire doc and make it public without realising. I wouldn't keep confidential information in there anymore because of that. #### Reasons for choosing Coda Flexibility to get it to work with our own internal development processes. #### Reasons for switching to Coda We thought it would give us more flexibility and power. --- ### Best app to create mini apps for remote teams - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Raul S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As a remote-first company, we at Getro.com, have been using Coda for over 3 and it's been an instrumental tool to help us scale and stay flexible operating our company. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love Coda's flexibility. With my team we use it to define roadmaps and scope projects. Personally, I use it to take daily notes and I also run my own public blog with Coda. #### Cons It's important to be careful with large documents. #### Reasons for choosing Coda Coda is the best option to create flexible apps that synchronize with other tools our team use. #### Reasons for switching to Coda Asana is very rigid and hard to customize. It doesn't have great integrations with other apps. --- ### Unlimited power and agility for 0 to 12$/m/team - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Blaise d. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Amazing, game changer for the business efficiency, speed, agility. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for choosing Coda 10 000x more powerful #### Reasons for switching to Coda Notion is beautiful, but is 10000 times less powerful. When you try it for the first time it feels like the future, after Coda it feels like stone age. --- ### Low-code at its best! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Dariusz K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros There's a lot that you can do using just the free version. Paid plans provide useful additions. After spending a little time with the documentation, you can build amazing things. #### Cons The learning curve is a little steep. I have experience with database software and I feel it put me at a disadvantage as I had to let go of some old habits. Some parts of Coda are reminiscent of a classic database while others force you to think a little bit differently. #### Reasons for choosing Coda I think one can create a much more diverse project using Coda. Coda's flexibility and ease of automation made me choose it but I have to say i like Notion's visual side a little bit better. #### Reasons for switching to Coda Coda is much more flexible and provides the basic feature set available in Trello. --- ### Easier collaboration vs. Notion - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nadia B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Online Media - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Coda is a quick start for anyone familiar with google docs or other collaborative platforms. I use Coda for managing a team of 20 volunteers on web content publishing projects. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like the templates library and integrations. #### Cons I am waiting for a rollup function to include all team comments across documents. This feature is currently missing and makes the software difficult to use for managing a large team with multiple documents. #### Reasons for choosing Coda Basecamp licensing is prohibitively expensive for my volunteer team. #### Reasons for switching to Coda I switched to Coda after having friction teaching team members to use Notion. --- ### Keep everyone vested and engaged in each project with Coda - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We use this for creative project management. Our team loves it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the overall flexibility of Coda. The customization is the main selling point for me. I typically use Coda for project management. Workflows are easy to setup. Live Document editing with the templates offered look sharp, and Coda has the ability to turn those pages straight into web pages. It great for collecting all of the team data and creating a quick proof for our client. #### Cons The free version really isn’t worth using. However, it’s a good way to see the capabilities of the program. Once we tried the free, I quickly purchased the team plan. It was well worth the money. You’ll need some tech know-how and team training to get it up and running. However, once everyone is on board, it’s a massive time saver, flow optimizer and even creativity booster. --- ### An extremely flexible and powerful project and data management tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Flexibility is the number one reason we love coda on my team. We use Coda for a number of purposes: -bug tracking for our app -organizing documents for projects -indexing and searching our assets database -contact lists -backing up text strings for our website -managing translation strings -task tracking for consultants With just a bit of training we have managed to onboard most of our team and to set up dashboards and workspaces suitable for so many different core functions. It is amazing to be able to accomplish so much without needing to introduce a new tool to our workflow. It also integrates well with Google Docs and Dropbox, which we also use on our team. The support team is very responsive and helpful. They really provide excellent tips and guidance, and often solve issues within minutes. #### Cons The limitation on document sizes for users with free accounts makes sense but at the time we needed to upgrade there was no way to transfer the old document to the upgraded account seamlessly. We ended up having to duplicate our document, which was really bad for continuity and very very confusing to team members less familiar with our file storage systems. --- ### There really isn't a competitive alternative - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As I said, it's a surprising powerful app that's still very easy to use and the user/dev community is actually very active and helpful. I discovered and started using Coda in their early days and I have tried every single app listed above and then some since (and still use many for various things). For its unique combination of features, though, I still always find myself coming back to Coda. So much so that, while their free plan is surprisingly feature rich with high limits, I finally decided to pull the trigger and commit by purchasing a plan. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros For my needs, it's like the developers took the best features of Google Docs, Airtable, Notion and Confluence and wrapped them all up into uniquely powerful and easy-to-use product. I have to do a lot of off-the-cuff analysis and tracking, and the features they provide around tables exceed even Google Sheets for my uses. I often find myself building little apps that make a task so much easier to get done and with minimal effort compared to other apps (custom scripts in Google Sheets anyone?). The formula and control options are also second-to-none both in just how much you can do with them and also how they can be brought together into a much more usable interface. #### Cons I don't understand why you have to go with a Team plan or above to access document locking functionality. I've got it now that I'm paying, but I've built a lot of tools in Coda in the past that I wanted to share but didn't because I also had to then give folks editing access. If I'm going to trust anyone with editing access, it's my team - I'm trying to lock things down for colleagues, clients and leadership. Also, they have got to add in the option to import data from a file - this copy and paste from a spreadsheet is a pain and not always reliable. --- ### If you love your team, get Coda for them. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Mathew J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Newspapers - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Helps me organise my work effectively and better collaborate with teammates. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Clean UI/UX is a huge plus. Moreover, I personally feel Coda to be miles ahead that it's competitor Notion in all aspects. #### Cons Importing and exporting spreadsheets is a hassle #### Reasons for switching to Coda Heard Coda was better --- ### Good, flexible produect - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've enjoyed using the product. It is pretty much my hub for every project and for all knowledge sharing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Coda has more functionality than most of its competitors. There are many other products that do one small part of what Coda can do. For example, most of the functionality of Monday can be done by Coda, however, Coda can do much more beyond that. #### Cons There is a learning curve to using this product at its full potential. Creating pages, setting up tables and workflows all requires a lot of learning. So in order to have a very functional product, the user must be trained. #### Reasons for choosing Coda More functionality --- ### Best configurable software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Wilson D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I'm very satisfied with Coda, it solved multiple management problems that I had before. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Coda is a great software for businesses looking for more efficient ways to solve problems. It's easy to set up, easy to learn, easy to use. It's super simple to create professional-looking systems and dashboards. Coda also has integration with many other softwares, making it even more powerful! The Coda team very supportive and the company is constantly releasing new features. #### Cons The only limitation of the software is that it's difficult to handle large number of records at the same time (millions of records). --- ### Flexible, but tough to master - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Michael H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Internet - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Collaboration is the key area I have used Coda for. It is incredibly useful as a time saving tool, and for keeping track of projects. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ease of use of Coda is a big draw, as is its flexibility. The ability to set things up and customise to make it work exactly as I need is great. #### Cons The learning curve is very steep. It's kind of to be expected with the amount of power and customisation on offer, but still, it takes a while to get used to and to truly harness its power. The support available is very useful in this regard. --- ### Great Low Code Platform for SME Businesses - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Shaun S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Mechanical or Industrial Engineering - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Extremely positive. Support have been fantastic and the software have yielded plenty of benefits for us which we couldn't get elsewhere (and we spent a lot of time trying) #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The software is intuitive to use and brings together a combination of tables and word processing features. They have been very proactive in covering the gaps from their Beta setup which has meant we can now use it as our main system. You don't need to know how to code (although a little knowledge can help you create some advanced features). They have also setup integrations with other platforms, when combined with their automation features, it is a powerful solution. #### Cons I think the integrations need to be boosted, particularly with G Drive and G Data Studio. Some in built features for workflow mapping would be great but that isn't a core part of the software. --- ### Great product, even better customer support and community - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Political Organization - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Functionality-wise coda has checked almost all of my needs. Filterable views, integrations with other apps and data-sources, formulas, automation, etc. But what has set it apart so far is the customer support. Whenever I have questions or need help figuring out how to troubleshoot a doc the coda team has been extremely helpful. I've never experienced such a high level of customer support anywhere else. I've had members of the support team take the time to copy my docs and really look into my specific work to help troubleshoot instead of giving me generic answers. The help was always constructive and informative. #### Cons Could have more features, but great as is. I'm sure new features will be available down the line. #### Reasons for switching to Coda Because I didn't know about Coda before --- ### Great reinvention of the spreadsheet - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jade J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Design - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Love playing with the new features but is lacking in the mobile experience at the same level of detail they put into the desktop experience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Love the design and look and feel of coda. Have been using it for 4 years or so. It has come a long way. Its very easy to use and intuitive. It made creating and organizing data very fun for me. #### Cons The desktop experience is amazing. The team is constantly improving it and adding cool new features. The mobile experience and app is probably one of the worst I've ever seen/used. They have barely made changes or improved the design and usability of it since it came out. It's very frustrating and irritating to use. It's very glitchy. I initially used coda alit, until I needed to use it more and more on my phone. Eventually I had to move back to Google sheets because the app experience makes it so much easier to view and edit your documents. --- ### Just Right - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Stefan D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros My favorite thing about Coda is how it effortlessly combines structured and unstructured data. There traditional difference between docs, spreadsheets, etc. is artifical and coda proves it. This freedom to structure your doc in any way you want is really powerful and it allows for great flexibility. #### Cons It can be a bit of a learning curve to start. The existing templates are good, but to get the level of customization you need from your tables, you need to dig into formulas, and not everyone has time for that. --- ### can be an alternative in a future - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: miguel c. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Construction - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered i like a lot , specialy the integrations but it misses the relation between tasks in databases #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros coda have a lot of important integrations #### Cons in databases the relation between tasks is not working --- ### Amazing! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Stephen L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It's awesome. I'd highly recommend Coda. They've also added a few integrations which add even more to the possibilities. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Coda might be the single most powerful piece of software that I use. The use cases are endless. I use it for product planning, notes, research, release planning and much more. #### Cons It can be overwhelming at first because of all the things you can use it for, but they have solid documentation. --- ### Why I use Notion more often now than Coda - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Samantha H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Coda is definitely focused on transforming how people can do more with sheets. This is a strong advantage compared with Notion. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 1. Sign in with Google 2. A lot of integration with 3rd party tools #### Cons 1. More learning curve than Notion 2.
