The short answer
A CODA* WORKSPACE charge is a collaborative document, spreadsheet, and workflow app subscription from Coda Project, Inc.
Why it shows up like this
CODA* WORKSPACE on your statement is a recurring subscription charge from Coda Project, Inc., the maker of coda.io. Coda is a productivity platform that combines documents, databases, and automated workflows in a single workspace. The descriptor can also appear as CODA PROJECT INC or CODA.IO depending on your bank — all three are the same company billing the same subscription.
What makes Coda's billing model different from most SaaS tools is that it only charges for 'Doc Makers' — the users who actually create new documents. Pro plan Doc Makers run roughly $10 to $12 per month, while Team plan seats are around $30 to $36 per month. Editors and viewers who work inside existing documents pay nothing. So a charge around $12 most likely reflects a single Pro-tier Doc Maker seat.
If you do not recognize this charge, log in to coda.io and check Workspace Settings then Billing. The billing page shows which users hold Doc Maker licenses and when the last invoice was generated. You can remove Doc Maker status from users who only need to edit or view, which reduces your bill immediately. To stop all future charges, switch the workspace to the Free plan from the same billing page.
