## Ways to pay less

- **$30 for the first five users on Starter** (Other savings): The pricing page lists a special offer of $30 for the first five Starter users, available only on quip.com. It gives no end date or term. Source: https://quip.com/about/pricing

## 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.

## Good for

- Sales and service teams already working in Salesforce
- Small teams that want shared docs with chat attached and no free-plan limits to manage

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Starter 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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** The pricing page lists no free plan and no free trial.
- **Features: C.** Documents 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Documents and chat are familiar, but linking it to Salesforce is its own job.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iOS, Android and an offline desktop app, with single sign-on and an enterprise API on Plus, which is bought through sales.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Documents: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A spreadsheet engine with its formulas.
- You could not: Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, Okta and Microsoft among them, and has an API.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
