Documents here behave like small applications, with tables, formulas, buttons and Packs replacing the usual sprawl of a doc, a spreadsheet and a tracker. Only Doc Makers are billed, at 10 dollars or 30 dollars each per month on annual terms, so editors and viewers cost nothing and a free tier covers small docs. Grammarly bought it in 2024 and has since renamed itself Superhuman, an American company.

Why choose Fibery over Coda?
The decisive argument is data jurisdiction. Coda is headquartered in the United States, which means personal data processed through it can be subject to non-EU legal regimes: the US CLOUD Act, FISA 702, or similar laws depending on the provider. After the 2020 Schrems II ruling, EU organisations must carry out a transfer impact assessment for every such data flow.
Fibery removes that overhead. As a Poland-based provider, it operates under EU GDPR, and data stays inside the EU/EEA by default. For regulated sectors such as health, public administration, and finance, that's not a nice-to-have but a requirement. For everyone else, it's concentration-risk insurance: you avoid depending on a single jurisdiction that can change the rules without warning.
