Best for documents and chat inside a Salesforce team
Quip is shared documents and spreadsheets with chat built in, aimed at Salesforce customers. Starter is $10 per user a month billed annually, but it cannot be combined with Quip for Salesforce, and the Salesforce record sync is only on Advanced at $100.
Who Quip is for
- Fits if your sales team lives in Salesforce and wants documents tied to its records
- Works for small teams that only need shared docs and chat on Starter
Who Quip is not for
- Not for you if you want to try before paying, as there is no free plan or trial
- Watch out: Starter cannot be combined with Quip for Salesforce
- Pricey if you want the Salesforce sync, since Advanced is $100 per user a month and sold through sales
- Skip it if you want a general wiki, as it is built for Salesforce customers
Why Quip gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStarter is $10 per user a month billed annually ($12 monthly), above the category's cheapest quarter at $7 and below its middle at $18. Plus is $25 and Advanced is $100.

- CFeaturesDocuments and spreadsheets, chat in each document, an offline desktop app, Salesforce records in documents and Live Apps. The Salesforce record sync and live-document editing in Salesforce are Advanced only.

Keep Quip, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Quip you would be making a spreadsheet engine with its formulas. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 67 of the 69 other docs and wiki tools grade higher. It costs $120 a year.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A spreadsheet engine with its formulas.
- Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, Okta and Microsoft among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. Quip’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Quip?
Quip is Salesforce's collaborative document product. Documents and spreadsheets each carry their own chat, and a desktop app syncs them for offline use. Its pitch is aimed at sales teams, with live Salesforce records embedded in documents on the higher tiers.
Worth knowing
- 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.
Key features
- Documents and spreadsheets
- Unlimited documents and spreadsheets on every plan, with spreadsheets that can be embedded inside a document.
- Chat in every document
- Each document and spreadsheet has built-in team chat, and there are also chat rooms and 1-to-1 messages.
- Offline desktop app
- The desktop app syncs documents and messages to the computer's drive so they can be opened offline and searched alongside local files.
- Salesforce records in documents
- Quip Advanced embeds documents in Salesforce records and syncs field, record, report and list data both ways.
- Live Apps and API
- Plus and Advanced add single sign-on, an enterprise API and custom Live Apps built for an organization.
