How much does Coda cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Coda charges per Doc Maker (a user who creates or edits doc structure); editors and viewers are free. As of July 2026: Free ($0, up to 50 objects per doc), Pro $12/Doc Maker/month ($10 billed annually), Team $36/Doc Maker/month ($30 billed annually), and custom Enterprise. The annual per-Doc-Maker rates are unchanged from early 2026; the monthly rates ($12 and $36) are the month-to-month equivalents. The maker/viewer split can be cheaper than per-seat tools when many users only view.
Coda Pricing Plans (as of July 2026)
| Plan | Price | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Unlimited docs, up to 50 objects per doc, limited automations |
| Pro | $12/Doc Maker/mo ($10 annual) | Unlimited objects, automations, Packs, doc locking |
| Team | $36/Doc Maker/mo ($30 annual) | Folder permissions, admin controls, custom branding |
| Enterprise | Custom | SAML SSO, audit logs, DLP, advanced admin |
Coda's defining feature is that only Doc Makers — users who create or edit document structure (tables, formulas, automations) — are billed. Editors, form-fillers, and viewers are free. The annual per-Doc-Maker rates ($10 Pro, $30 Team) are unchanged; the $12 and $36 figures are the month-to-month rates.
What each tier includes
- Free: unlimited docs with up to 50 objects each and limited automation — usable for personal docs and evaluation, with no seat limit on collaborators.
- Pro ($10 annual): removes object limits, raises automation runs, adds all Packs, doc locking, and version history.
- Team ($30 annual): folder-level permissions, admin controls, usage analytics, and custom branding — for organisations that need governance over doc creation.
- Enterprise: SSO, audit logging, DLP, and a dedicated CSM.
How Coda pricing compares
| Tool | 10-person team (annual) | Model |
|---|---|---|
| Coda Pro | ~$1,200/yr (10 Doc Makers) | Per Doc Maker |
| Notion Business | ~$960-1,800/yr | Per user |
| Airtable Team | ~$2,400/yr | Per seat |
| Monday.com Standard | ~$1,440/yr | Per seat |
Coda's Doc-Maker model is cheaper than per-seat pricing when a meaningful share of users are viewers; if most people edit structure, Pro costs more than Notion and less than Airtable.
Editor's Note: We tracked Coda costs for a 12-person consulting team where 8 of 12 were Doc Makers. The maker/viewer distinction is the whole pricing story — and its friction: people request Doc Maker access for a one-time edit, then stay on the paid tier, so the count creeps up. Re-checked July 2026: the annual per-Doc-Maker rates ($10 Pro, $30 Team) are unchanged, with monthly at $12 and $36 — Coda stays competitive when the maker/viewer split is clean, but audit the Doc Maker list periodically or the seat count drifts upward. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
