In light of recent discussions (or lack thereof), I thought it would be a great time to revisit an important topic: What are the best alternatives to Coda for no-code, formula-focused creators like us?
Whether you’re considering a backup plan or simply curious about other tools in the space, let’s share some insights!
If you had to migrate your Coda docs today, which product would you choose, and why?
Looking forward to hearing about your experiences, discoveries, and recommendations. Let’s prioritize looking out for ourselves, because no one else will!

As hard as it is to admit, there are no direct analogs to Coda. The closest in spirit is, of course, Notion. In my opinion, it’s the most balanced and well-thought-out application, but with less functional potential. When searching for alternatives to Coda, you can either go to one extreme and try to replicate the experience in Bubble or Glide (I tried, and I didn’t like it), or simply accept the futility of existence and use one of the specialized solutions, though without the flexibility of a constructor—such as SmartSuite, ClickUp, or Monday.com. All of them are excellent products.

We decided for our next internal app (since its not crucial one so we can allow for some “play”) to try out Retool. Its way more developer centric but should also provide way more control. Just started with it so cant really comment at the moment, we will se how it goes. Most of our and our clients stuff is still gonna be in Coda for now.
Also there is Fibery.io, I hear good things about it but didn’t try it personally yet so cant really give first hand impressions.
As @Tamerlan_PRO mentioned Notion is probably closest “competition” (although its more like Coda is competition to Notion because from my experience Notion is waaaaay more popular and known) and it has quite a few advantages but its still now as powerful as Coda for more complex workflows and use-cases (but is slowly catching up especially with updates they did last year - but there is still a lot ground to cover before you can create in Notion stuff you can build in Coda)
Having said all that I really hope Coda “wakes up from a daydreaming” so to say, and continue going on an excellent phat they had for making “Documents as powerful as Apps”. Or if they decided to shift their focus and target customers at lest to inform us so we know

Yes to Fibery.io. It has a lot of similarities to Coda, though it’s not “doc based”.
