Use ONLYOFFICE Docs if you need real-time co-editing, track changes, version history and 60+ formats, and you can deploy and run its server (or use its cloud). Use Doconda’s editor plugin if you want your users to open, tweak and save a Word, PowerPoint or Excel file inside your React app without running any document server: the file is edited in the browser and is not uploaded anywhere to edit it.

Comparison

​
When to choose ONLYOFFICE Docs

  • Several people must edit the same file at once, with track changes and version history.
  • You work with many formats (60+), forms or PDF as a core part of the product.
  • You want an open-source option (Docs Community) or need everything inside your own infrastructure.
  • You don’t use React, or you already have a team to run one more service on Docker or Kubernetes.

​
When to choose Doconda

  • Your app is React and you want a Word, PowerPoint and Excel editor as a single dependency, without deploying or scaling a document server.
  • You prefer the file not to leave the browser to be edited: open it from a link, a File or bytes, and save it yourself with save() or onSave.
  • You want the editor to look like part of your product: your colors, your fonts, your toolbar and your own buttons such as “Send for signature”.
  • You already use the Doconda API: the edited file can be saved as a new version of the document, with its review and its PDF.
  • You want a per-organization price that doesn’t count users or documents, and free testing on localhost.
