New Pricing

Old pricing — left. New pricing — right. In all means.

How pricing will change in future? First, users with read-only access will not be billed. Second, we might consider pricing differentiations for real creators and usual users like editors. Anyway, we don’t want to have complicated pricing scheme and it seems Coda did it wrong, too many users complained. We want to avoid repeating their mistake.

NOTE: All private beta accounts will enjoy one year of Company edition for free.

Public Release Roadmap

  1. ✔︎ Search
  2. ✔︎ CSV Import
  3. ︎︎✔︎ Public API
  4. ✔︎ Metrics (Formula Field)
  5. ✔ Table View. We discovered that Boards are not enough for many cases, and we will add Table View (or Spreadsheet View if you like)
  6. ✔ Domain evolution: we will finalize renames (Apps, Types, Fields). Now it causes some problems.
  7. ✔ Permissions: Collaborator role (a user that can’t change things created by other users), and we will deny Views modification by ordinary users as well
  8. ✔✘ [Only Action Buttons so far] Automation Rules. It will enable process automation, like internal Zapier.
  9. ✔ Notifications (mentions, in-app, activity stream, Slack, Email).
  10. ✘ [Postponed] History information and reports (CFD, Burndown Chart, Burnup Chart, Burnout Chart)
  11. ⇢ Account management and payments (some tasks are in progress)
  12. ✔ New web site
  13. ✔ Getting Started experience
  14. ⇢ Polish EVERYTHING.

There should be some clever title, but it is prohibited by law.

Random quote:

End user programming can be fun too. In the spreadsheet study, one of the pleasures of having done the research was to frequently hear people who have never taken a computer science class describe their work with spreadsheets as "fun." A cynic with tongue-in-cheek remarked to me that perhaps this is the most fun accountants can have, but it is safe to say that most designers would be happy to have millions of satisfied users enthusiastically and productively using their product.
