Limits worth knowing in Quip

  • There is no free plan or free trial listed on the pricing page.
  • Starter cannot be combined with Quip for Salesforce. Plus and Advanced are sold through sales; the Salesforce record sync is only in Advanced ($100).
  • The vendor describes it as productivity for Salesforce customers, so it is less of a general wiki than most tools in this category.
  • The download page names iOS and iPadOS in the App Store; the pricing page also mentions Android. It does not say which desktop systems the desktop app covers.
