Dear @Steve_Yang,

Thanks sharing your points of view, we have seen many valuable inputs.

Coda has it’s own DNA and already from the beginning taking a new approach how docs and sheets work.

Diversity is something we have to encourage.
“Black :black_large_square:” needs “White :white_large_square:” as “Ying :yin_yang:” needs “Yang :yin_yang:”.

We have a say; “There are more ways to Rome” :arrow_right::arrow_left::arrow_up::arrow_down::arrow_upper_right::arrow_lower_left::arrow_lower_right::arrow_upper_left:

People and business are willing to spend $$$ on products like MacBook or Iphone, when there are products with the similar components in the market at 30% of the price.

You have “leaders” and “followers” as you can see from the below post:

The more people see the oppertunity to be a maker, the better it will be for the overall development.

Let’s enjoy the evolution and be :pray: to be a part of this

I think there is a very big difference between Coda and Notion especially related to design and user experience.

When I look at online services I have to put myself in the mindset of the end-user. I personally feel that Notion would be a more difficult user experience and thus not an option for me.

I also feel like the free version that Coda offers allows you enough flexibility to use it as an individual or to test how it works before making a decision to pay for it.

This is issue here is basically support for soloists - individuals who don’t have an organisation willing to pay for the product. With their free tier, Notion has sent a pretty strong signal to their users that soloists are well and truly welcome. They’ve realised the potential use of Notion for soloists and made the decision to try and on-board as many of them as possible.

Coda, on the other hand, IMHO is pretty poor for soloists. Even before this free tier from Notion, their cheapest tier was $4/month, whilst Coda’s is $10/month. That’s a big deal, $10/month is a lot of money (double the market rate for most solo/lowest paid plans) and to be honest, it’s what has been putting me off going premium with Coda. On the other hand, $4/month is much more palatable, and actually I pay for Notion’s $4/month plan. The fact that Coda don’t seem willing to consider introducing a cheaper tier - as I’ve gathered from a lack of engagement with this post recently: Soloist - Personal or business use but only one Maker and no collaborators - is to me a pretty big signal that Coda aren’t interested in supporting us soloists, they’re just after business use. It’s why I’m reluctantly, after investing a significant amount of time in Coda, looking for alternatives as I rapidly approach the size limits.
