I know a bit about that, as I tried both. Spoiler: We kept using Airtable and Dropbox Paper instead.

Pros Coda: - As implied above: it is quite good at merging the features of a "word processor" (more like Google Drive, Dropbox Paper) with Airtable like functionality (Spreadsheets that are very easy to use, filter, display differently... I.e. building small pseudo apps. Basically: you can add text above and below your "Airtable" - Multiple documents inside a document (navigation on the left side). Pretty good for Wiki like things

Pros Airtable: - Better in displaying data (colors etc), adding attachements, e and other visual benefits that make it accessible to non nerds. - I know the pricing model. Coda doesn't tell (me) what they will charge. I simply didn't want to become dependent on something I don't know I can afford (many users)




Thanks for the insight! I haven't played with either but this is pushing me a bit towards airtable :)
