Looking for a Coda alternative with built-in team tools?
Coda is a flexible doc tool but your team needs more than docs that act like spreadsheets. Trilo gives you rich docs alongside real-time chat, task management, video calls, and AI coworkers in one workspace.
TL;DR
Coda is a powerful doc-as-app platform but teams still need separate tools for chat, video, and real task management. Trilo gives you collaborative docs alongside chat, kanban boards, video with AI transcription, and AI coworkers. Choose Coda for building custom doc-apps. Choose Trilo for a complete team workspace with strong docs.
Why teams leave Coda
Docs are great, everything else is missing
Coda makes flexible documents but has no chat, no video calls, and no standalone task management. Teams still need Slack, Zoom, and a project management tool.
Steep learning curve
Coda formulas, automations, and pack integrations are powerful but complex. Most team members use Coda as a basic doc and never touch the advanced features.
Per-user pricing compounds
Coda Team plan costs $10 per user per month. Add Slack, Zoom, and Asana and your team easily spends $300 or more per month across tools.
Task management is a workaround
You can build task trackers in Coda using tables and views, but it is a workaround. There are no native kanban boards, no time tracking, and no real project management features.

How Trilo helps
Docs That Live in Your Team Workspace
Coda docs are standalone. With Trilo, your docs are connected to the rest of your workflow: link a doc to a task, reference it in a chat conversation, or have AI summarize it in a meeting. Documents are not islands, they are part of how your team works.
Real Task Management, Not Table Workarounds
Building a task tracker in Coda means creating tables, views, formulas, and automations. Trilo gives you native kanban boards, list views, calendar views, time tracking, and drag-and-drop prioritization out of the box. No formula skills required.
AI That Works Across Your Whole Workspace
Coda AI helps with doc content. Trilo AI coworkers work across everything: they draft documents, join chat conversations, create tasks from meetings, and keep projects on track. One AI that understands your docs, chats, and tasks together.
