Fast on every device.
Not just desktop.
Coda's mobile app is essentially unusable. Craft gives you native apps that actually work — on every device.
Which one is right for you?
Coda is powerful for building custom tools, but users call its mobile app 'essentially unusable,' report severe lag with large documents, and face a steep formula learning curve. Craft is fast and intuitive everywhere — native apps, full offline, instant performance.
Choose if you:
- Native apps that work everywhere — Coda's mobile is 'essentially unusable'
- Stays fast with thousands of documents — Coda slows down as docs grow
- Full offline access — Coda requires internet for everything
- Start writing immediately — no weeks learning formula syntax
- AI included free — Coda charges extra for AI features
Choose Coda if you:
- Spreadsheet formulas and computed columns are core to your workflow
- Building custom internal tools with automations is your use case
- Relational databases with complex views are essential
- You primarily work on desktop and don't need mobile
