Use Univer if you want to build your own office suite inside your product, on its data model, and you need real-time co-editing or deep low-level customization. Use Doconda’s editor plugin if your users have to open, edit and save real Office and PDF files (.docx, .pptx, .xlsx, .pdf) inside your React app without running any server: the file is opened and saved in the browser.

​
When to choose Univer

  • You want to build your own suite and work with a data model, not with files.
  • You need real-time co-editing, pivot tables or server-side calculation (Univer Pro).
  • An open-source base that you will adapt deeply suits you.

​
When to choose Doconda

  • Your users work with real Office and PDF files and expect to download the same .docx, .pptx, .xlsx or .pdf they uploaded, with whatever they did not touch left intact.
  • You don’t want to run a conversion server: everything happens in the browser.
  • You need Word and PowerPoint as well as Excel, and PDF too (fill in, sign, annotate).
  • You want an editor that looks like part of your product: your colours, your toolbar and your own buttons.
  • You want your users to edit the document with AI without you wiring up a model or them entering a key: the assistant is included.
  • You already use the Doconda API so your agent creates the documents your users then edit.
